A player in middle position fired 3,000 on the river with the board showing 9♣5♥J♥8♣2♣, leaving Guillem Nuez with a decision to make. Nuez, who recently won the €200 Opening Event here at CNP Winamax Sevilla, weighed the spot carefully while shuffling a handful of yellow chips.
After a moment, he pushed forward three of them to call. His opponent tapped the table twice and revealed A♥10♣, while Nuez turned over 6♣6♥ for fourth pair, which proved enough to take down the pot.

Play is underway in Seville on Day 1b of the €550 Main Event, with 40 players registered at the start.
Level: 1
Blinds: 100/100
Ante: 100
The sun has finally come out in Seville. The Spanish province has spent the last few days battered by rain and wind, even fearing the possible overflow of the Guadalquivir River, which runs through the city.
Today, however, clear skies have returned to the Andalusian capital and to Casino Admiral Sevilla, which is fully set to welcome players for Day 1b of the Main Event starting at 4 p.m. local time.
Last night, a total of 61 entries passed through the tables, with just 19 players securing their spot for Day 2. Leading the way is Mexico's Mario Lozada, who bagged an impressive 295,000 chips, good for 148 big blinds heading into Saturday. No Spanish players appear in the top three, as second place belongs to American William Bortz with 283,000, while Mikoto Eihata, holding the same stack, traveled in from Japan.
| Rank | Player | Country | Chip Count | Big Blinds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mario Lozada | Mexico | 295,000 | 148 |
| 2 | William Bortz | United States | 283,000 | 142 |
| 3 | Mikoto Eihata | Japan | 283,000 | 142 |
| 4 | Moisés Chaves | Spain | 257,000 | 129 |
| 5 | Viktor Bensemcha | France | 256,000 | 128 |
| 6 | Adrián López | Spain | 234,000 | 117 |
| 7 | Antonio Subire | Spain | 181,000 | 91 |
| 8 | Antonio Leal | Spain | 166,000 | 83 |
| 9 | Fernando Ferrero | Spain | 166,000 | 83 |
| 10 | Mohamed Ali Bardei | Morocco | 165,000 | 83 |
Play resumes today at 4 p.m., with all players starting with 50,000 chips. Levels will restart from the beginning at 100/100 with a 100 big blind ante, increasing every 45 minutes. The day will conclude at the end of Level 11.
Also scheduled for today is the start of the Day 1c Low Cost flight at 8 p.m. This flight features a reduced €275 buy-in, but players will begin with half the starting stack, 25,000 chips, and levels will increase every 20 minutes, making it a turbo format.
Tomorrow, Casino Admiral Sevilla will host Day 1d, which is expected to be the largest flight of the event. Players who fail to advance today or tomorrow will still have one final chance in the Day 1e turbo, which begins Saturday at 11 a.m. All survivors from the starting flights will return for Day 2 on Saturday at 5 p.m.
