The Spanish Armada in the Bahama's is having a fantastic week with Ramon Collilas's earlier victory in the PokerStars Players Championship for $5.1 million. Several of Spain's great, the Javier's Gomez Zapatero and Zarco, as well as Vicent Bosca, are trying to mimic Collilas's run and bring a second big title to the southern European country.

He cut out a raise to what appeared to be 300,000. It got to Chase Bianchi in the small blind, who was unfazed by all the earlier action and shoved for 634.000
