Leo Tamed
First into the pot from late position, Leo Fernandez opened to 9,900, and David Sonelin made the call next door. Heads-up, the two men took a flop. We stepped away from the action for a moment at this point, but we gather that Fernandez got in a check-raise on the flop which Sonelin called. That's second-hand info, so take it for what is, but we did pick up the action once again as the landed on the turn. Fernandez took pause for a long couple minutes now, and he eventually slid out a bet of 30,000 into a pot of close to 80,000. Sonelin didn't waste much time announcing the all-in raise, and Fernandez was put to the decision for his last ~94,000 that he had left behind. It'd be another couple of minutes before he made his play, putting both hands behind his fortress of chips and sliding them all across the betting line. It was as if he knew he wouldn't be getting them back.
Showdown
Fernandez:
Sonelin:
Fernandez's two pair was second best, and he needed to fill up on the river to stay alive. It was a blank though, and that duck has sent the lion pacing slowly away toward the exit.
