Nuno Sequeira limped from the hijack with around 14,000 chips behind. José Carlos Martínez, seated to his left, raised to 2,000, and another player flat called on the button. The blinds folded.
Action returned to Sequeira, who found the spot to move all-in. Martínez reshoved with the covering stack, and the remaining player called, setting up a three way all-in.
Nuno Sequeira: 8♥8♠
Button: A♥K♥
José Carlos Martínez: K♠K♦
Martínez, who covered both opponents, needed his pocket kings to hold. The 5♥J♥7♣ flop and 10♦ turn kept him in front. However, the 9♦ river completed a straight for Sequeira, earning him the triple-up.
The side pot went to Martínez, who collected roughly 40,000 additional chips after eliminating the player on the button.

On a flop of 3♦8♠4♥, Fernando Banda bet 2,300 from the cutoff and received a call from the button, while the big blind, occupied by WIP Ander Sánchez, folded.
The Q♠ turn saw Banda fire again for 6,000, and his opponent called once more.
The 10♦ river slowed the action down, and both players checked. Banda then tabled 10♣7♥ for a pair of tens, which proved good enough to take down the pot. His opponent revealed an 8♦, visibly frustrated with the outcome.

We arrived at the table with action already underway on a board of K♠Q♦6♠10♥. From the small blind, Fran López bet 3,700 into a pot of roughly 6,000, putting Joaquín Lafoz to a decision on the button.
Lafoz made the call and the dealer placed the 7♦ on the river. López fired again, this time for 6,500. After another moment of hesitation, Lafoz put in the chips, only to be shown the bad news.
López tabled K♦J♥ for top pair, prompting Lafoz to send his hand into the muck.
