A player in the cutoff opened to 2,000 and the button called. Roberto Pavón, from the small blind, then three-bet to 8,000, and both opponents came along.
The flop fell 6♦2♥A♥ and Pavón continued for 6,600. Only the button called, leaving himself just 12,600 behind.
On the J♦ turn, Pavón gathered a stack of blue chips and moved all-in, putting his opponent at risk. The button quickly called, setting up the showdown.
Button: A♦9♦
Roberto Pavón: A♠Q♠
The player at risk still had outs to improve, but the 8♥ river changed nothing. Pavón dragged a pot worth more than 60,000 chips, pushing his stack past the 100,000 mark and sending his opponent to the rail.

We arrived at the table with action already underway and close to 10,000 chips in the middle. Team Pro CNP Ramón Fernández, from middle position, led out for 6,000 on a flop of K♦J♠5♠, and only Javier Becerril, seated in the button, made the call.
The A♥ turn saw Fernández check before springing a check raise to 22,000 after his opponent bet. Becerril hesitated briefly before calling.
When the A♠ river paired the board, Fernández moved all-in, sending his opponent deep into the tank. After some thought, the button committed the call.
Javier Becerril: 10♠9♠
Ramón Fernández: A♦K♣
Fernández had rivered a full house against his opponent's flush in a brutal cooler, dragging a pot worth close to 200,000 chips and vaulting into the chip lead.

A player opened to 3,200 from the cutoff and Antonio Gesto was the lone caller on the button. The flop came K♠5♥2♦ and the initial raiser continued for 7,000. Gesto made the call.
On the 4♥ turn, the cutoff fired a second barrel for 17,000. Gesto responded by moving all-in with a stack of blue chips, putting his opponent to the test. The call came quickly.
Cutoff: K♣K♥
Antonio Gesto: 8♥6♥
Gesto needed either a heart or a seven to take down the pot. The river delivered both in the form of the 7♥, completing his flush and earning him a pot worth close to 190,000 chips.
