Perez Nears 200K While Busting Fernandez

Leo Fernandez - Eliminated
Leo Fernandez - Eliminated

With a short stack, Leo Fernandez had been waiting patiently for the best spot to get his chips into the middle.

Upon seeing Juan Jose Perez limp in and another opponent shove for 15,100, Fernandez called all in for 6,700 from the small blind. Perez called to put both players at risk, but trailed with {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} against Fernandez's {A-Clubs}{A-Spades} and the other player's {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}.

However, the dealer ran out a {6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{K-Hearts} board to give Perez a set, thus ending Fernandez's tournament just before Day 1 reached its end.
