Hernandez scoops 67,000 pot from mystery man
Table 23 is the action table, no doubt about that. Michael Piper and Aaron Lerner have been up and down (Piper is currently up and Lerner a little down) and perhaps the biggest pot in the tournament so far has just taken place between Luis Carlos Hernandez and Fernando X (this is not lazy reporting, Fernando point-blank refused to tell us his family name). 'Mr X' had open raised to 1,050 from middle position and was three-bet to 3,000 by Hernandez who had the convenient combination of pocket Kings and the button. X insta-called. Hernandez bet another 3,000 on the flop and was quickly check-raised to 9,000. Hernandez didn’t wait long before moving all-in but X did before calling off his remaining 19,000 with for the nut flush draw and an over. No club or bullet bit Hernandez who was left stackint a healthy 67,000 stack as the mysterious Fernando stomped off into the distance.
