Fernandez Flips a Coin
Under the gun, Jacobo Fernandez open-shoved for just over 70,000 total. Yat Cheng made the call from middle position, and the race for Fernandez's tournament life was on:
Fernandez:
Cheng:
The flop was a good miss for Fernandez as it rolled out to give him another eight outs at his straight draw. The on the turn was a great card and a pair to pull him into the lead, and the river looked scary at first, but it filled Fernandez's straight and secured his double up to 158,000.
Cheng is down to a still-healthy 203,000.
