Jose Oliva: 8♥8♣

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Marco Gamba and Juan Martin all-in for around 500,000 and 775,000 respectively, and Jack Oliver covering both players.

Marco Gamba: K♥3♦ All in
Juan Martin: 7♦7♣ All in
Jack Oliver: A♥3♥

Martin looked in great shape for a near triple up, and he was still ahead after the 5♠5♦2♦ flop, although Oliver picked up a gutshot.

The 10♥ turn was a brick, and the 7♠ rolled off on the river to improve Martin to a full house, the Spaniard pumping his fist in celebration of scooping the pot.
