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: {9-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Cheng: {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}

The flop was a good miss for Fernandez as it rolled out {Q-Hearts} {3-Spades} {J-Spades} to give him another eight outs at his straight draw. The {10-Diamonds} on the turn was a great card and a pair to pull him into the lead, and the river {8-Spades} 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.
