Fernandez Gets it All Back
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action folded around to Francisco Fernandez, who moved all in from the small blind for 165,000. Jimmy Zahn called off in the big blind with a covering stack to put Fernandez at risk.
Francisco Fernandez: A♣Q♠
Jimmy Zahn: K♦K♣
Zahn was in excellent shape to score the knockout until the A♦6♠3♥ flop gave Fernandez top pair, leaving Zahn drawing to just two outs. Zahn couldn't catch a king on the 4♥ turn or J♥ river and was left short-stacked while Fernandez won back all of the chips he had recently lost to Matthew Gray.
Joaquin Sanchez was eliminated not long afterwards.
