A Cuban casino figure named for its 70-count length when chained as a sequence. The lead opens by lifting the joined right hands over the follow's head on 1-3, both partners do a small body roll on 5-6, and the partners exit on 7-8 with a position swap. Setenta complicado layers in a hammerlock variant in the middle.
