Leo Fernandez Crippled

Team PokerStars Pro Leo Fernandez from Argentina lost almost 90 percent of his chips in a pot that attracted almost every single member of media in the room. A mob gathered around the table and watched the hand unfold between Fernandez and a local player.

On the flop of {Q-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}, Fernandez fired out 1,300. His opponent min-raised him to 2,600. Leo Fernandez shoved for his entire stack and his opponent called.

Fernandez: {Q-Clubs} {10-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {A-Diamonds}

Fernandez was ahead with two pair against pocket aces. However, the turn was the {6-Hearts} which gave Fernandez's opponent aces up and a better two pair. The river was the {K-Spades}. Fernandez's opponent dragged the pot and a visibly disappointed Fernandez was left with 1,100 in chips.
