Deuce on the River Helps Fernandez Take Chip Lead
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Francisco Fernandez opened to 8,500 from the button and a player in the big blind raised to 25,000. Fernandez counted out his stack, thought for a minute and then moved all in for approximately 150,000. The big blind made the call to put Fernandez at risk with a massive pot at stake.
Francisco Fernandez: A?2?
Big Blind: A?Q?
Fernandez had been caught trying to make a move and was in rough shape against the bigger ace. He found no help on the A?J?5? flop or 3? turn but the 2? river gave him two pair to scoop the biggest pot of the tournament so far while leaving his opponent with just a few big blinds.
