WSOP Day 3: “taotattoo” and “GrinderSPA” Busted Out


In a significant turn of events, Alejandro Piñeiro “taotattoo” and Rubén Setién “GrinderSPA” were eliminated from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) on Day 3.

“taotattoo” faced a critical hand with 4 4 against an opponent's 5 6, leading to his elimination. Despite a strong start with 104,300 chips, his stack dwindled to 28,000 points before he went all-in with A J against A Q, sealing his fate.

Rubén Setién “GrinderSPA” also met his end on Day 3. Starting with 52,300 chips, he doubled his stack to 90,000 but ultimately lost with Q Q against an opponent's K K. Five Spanish players remain in the competition: Mikel Allende “Vegeta”, José Manuel Gómez “Rebenaque”, Mario Juste, Jordi Martínez “Alekhine”, Tomeu Gomila “Amatos”, and José María Galindo.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
