Lucia Navarro opened to 16,000 in the cutoff and was called by Carlos Perez-Dosio on the button. The big blind also came along to see the J♣8♦6♣ flop.
After a pair of checks, Perez-Dosio fired 21,000. The big blind quickly folded before Navarro made the call. The 4♥ turn saw both players check, with the action repeating after the A♦ river completed the board.
Navarro revealed K♥J♥ for a pair of jacks, taking down the rematch with Perez-Dosio after he showed 7♣7♥.
Lucia Navarro opened to 10,000 in middle position and called when Carlos Perez-Dosio three-bet to 27,000 on her left. Navarro then checked the [6c3s!c] flop.
Perez-Dosio continued for 21,000, with Navarro calling to see the 5♣ turn. Another check from Navarro was met with a bet from Perez-Dosio, this time for 45,000.
After a moment, Navarro slid her cards to the dealer as Perez-Dosio padded his growing stack.
Viewers on the 888poker LIVE stream just witnessed a big hand early on Level 12.
Ciprian Dan opened to 11,000 in the hijack and was promptly three-bet by Alexandre Mantovani on button, making it 50,000 while leaving his last 4,000 behind. Dan made the call out of position.
The dealer fanned a flop of 2♦9♦9♣, with Dan putting Mantovani all in and the 888poker Ambassador calling.
Alexandre Mantovani: 2♠2♥
Ciprian Dan: A♠9♠
Mantovani flopped a full house, while Dan was trailing with trip nines. The 7♣ turn was safe, but the 7♦ left Dan with a better full house. Mantovani wished everyone good luck as his run came to an early end.
