With action already underway, Alexander zur Linden, on the button, put airline pilot Guillem Nuez to the test on the river with a bet of 52,000, more than the Spaniard had behind.
After several minutes in the tank on a board of 7♠K♦J♠4♣8♥, Nuez eventually committed the call. The bad news followed shortly after.
Guillem Nuez: K♥10♥ 
Alexander zur Linden: 8♣7♣
Zur Linden had improved to two pair on the river, enough to overcome Nuez's top pair. The Spaniard rose from his seat in visible frustration as tablemates remarked they likely would have made the same call.

David Santos, the two time CNP Madrid champion in 2024 and 2025, called a bet of 10,000 from Beatriz Rodríguez, who was seated to his immediate left, with both players involved from the blinds.
The board read 2♦9♠4♥9♥ and completed with the 2♠ on the river. Santos quickly checked and Rodríguez checked behind.
Santos tabled 8♦8♣, believing it would be enough, but Rodríguez revealed Q♥Q♣ for queens and nines, giving her the better two pair.
Rodríguez collected a pot worth close to 40,000 chips, moving her stack to just under the 100,000 mark.

Following the previous hand, David Santos was left short stacked and soon found himself all-in on the very next orbit. An open to 1,200 came from the hijack and the Portuguese player moved all-in from the big blind for 9,300. His opponent made the call.
David Santos: J♦J♣
Hijack: A♠Q♥
Santos received immediate help as the flop came 4♠J♠10♦, giving him a set. His opponent still had four outs with any king to make a straight, but neither the 7♠ turn nor the Q♣ river provided it.
Santos secured the double up and climbed back above the 20,000 chip mark.

Cocis opened to 1,600 from the cutoff and received action from both blinds.
The flop came 7♥5♥2♦ and checked through. On the Q♦ turn, Cocis fired 2,900 and only the small blind made the call.
The A♣ river went check-check, sending the hand to showdown. The small blind tabled 9♥9♣, but Cocis revealed Q♥10♣ for a pair of queens to take down the pot worth around 11,000 chips.
It was a modest addition to his stack, but enough to further extend his lead in the Main Event.
