Set over Set Sees the End of Fernandez
We’ll admit that the title is factually accurate whilst also being a little misleading as all the chip went in pre-flop, but it was a pretty sick run out.
It was Sahashi Hideki who was the man to send our latest casualty, Jesus Fernandez, to the rail and the Japanese player was the initial pre-flop aggressor, opening the action with a raise to what looked to be 80,000 in the hi-jack.
Sitting in the small blind Fernandez took a gander at his hole cards and moved all-in for a little over 600,000 – which was also around the same as Hideki had. The Japanese player made the call and the cards were turned over.

Sahashi Hideki: 
Fernandez thought it was his lucky day when the flop came down 
to give him a set and see him take the lead. However, what the poker gods giveth they can also taketh away and the turn was the 
meaning the UK-based Spaniard needed to hit the deck’s sole remaining four. The 
river was not it and the field is now down to 16.
