Three-way on a flop of J♥8♣5♥, Diego Gomez Rodriguez in the big blind, Tarik El Bay Benyachou in the cutoff and Ladislao Dalfo Batlle on the button bet 13,000 each to see the 6♣ turn.
Gomez fired 12,000 and both of his opponents made the call. He checked the 9♣ river but El Bay Benyachou wanted more and moved all-in for 30,500. Dalfo immediately called off his last 25,700. Gomez took his sunglasses off and eventually decided to fold.
Ladislao Dalfo Batlle: 7♥6♦ 
Tarik El Bay Benyachou: A♥6♥
Dalfo rivered a straight to take the pot and double up while Petros Theodosiou was explaining that he folded K♣J♣ on the flop. El Bay Benyachou was eliminated a few hands later.

Jose Jaraiz opened to 600 from under the gun. He was called by Enrique Hernandez Fernandez in the hijack and by Michel Leibgorin in the big blind who "checked in the dark" before the dealer revealed a flop of A♣7♣4♦.
All three players checked, then Leibgorin led out for 500 on the 10♠ turn. Jaraiz folded but Hernandez called.
Leibgorin continue for 1,100 on the 4♠ river. Hernandez called and saw Leibgorin send his cards directly into the muck.
