Mario Ramirez Padilla opened to 600 from under the gun and was called by Glen Betancourt Vivas on the button.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♣5♥7♦ and Ramirez Padilla continued for 700. He was called so he fired a second barrel to 1,600 on the 2♦ turn. Betancourt Vivas called again.
Ramirez Padilla bet 2,500 on the 6♠ river. Betancourt Vivas went into the tank but ultimately folded.

PokerNews caught the action on a board of K♣A♦10♣8♠ after Cesar Montanes Alonso on the button bet 3,600 and Bernard Darmon in the cutoff raised to 8,600. Montanes Alonso three-bet to 18,600 and Darmon quickly called.
Darmon checked the 7♥ river and Montanes Alonso moved all-in for 30,100. Darmon went into the tank for nearly four minutes and eventually made the call with a slightly smaller stack.
Montanes Alonso immediately flipped over Q♥J♦ for a flopped straight. Darmon first wanted to muck his hand but the dealer revealed his set with 8♥8♦ and he was eliminated.

The World Series of Poker Circuit tour across Europe continues from October 23 to November 2, with its first-ever stop in Spain.
At Casino Gran Vía in Madrid, 11 rings are up for grabs, and some have already found a home during the first days of the festival. Salvador Sala Garcia won the €300 WSOPC Mini Main Event for €48,200, followed by Nuno Duarte who took down the €550 WSOPC Senior Event for €14,800, while Jeremy Bennoun claimed a ring and €13,500 in the €500 WSOPC Knockout Event.
Enrico Campanile joined the list last night by winning the €550 WSOPC Mystery Bounty, which drew 622 entries. He earned €25,700, plus €10,500 in bounties and the $5,000 package to the next WSOP Paradise awarded to every ring winner.
Alongside these side events, the main action starts this Wednesday with Day 1a of the €1,500 Main Event, the first out of four starting flights. Less than a month ago, Italy’s Luca Topazio was crowned the latest European WSOPC Main Event champion in Malta, defeating a field of 879 entries to win €200,000. That event was also organized by Texapoker.
