Just before the break, on a flop of {8-Diamonds}

, Chris Crilly open-shoved all in with about 80,000 in the pot. Alfredo Fernandez thought it over, then made the call for less.

Crilly: {K-Hearts}

Fernandez: {A-Diamonds}

Fernandez had called all in with ace high, and had run into cowboys. That was no problem for Fernandez when the turn came {A-Spades}

to make him a pair of aces and deliver a gut punch to Crilly. The river {J-Clubs}

cinched the hand for Fernandez.

Fernandez rocketed up to 846,000, while Crilly slipped back to 470,000.

With the board showing {5-Clubs}

and 75,000 already in the middle, Dale Hoy checked, and Ferdinand Quelle bet 70,000. Hoy called.

The river brought the {9-Hearts}

. Hoy again checked, and this time Quelle bet 170,000. Hoy agonized for a minute or two as he considered what to do. "Do you have two pair?" he asked Quelle. No response. "Maybe a flush draw that missed?" Again, nothing.

Finally Hoy made the call. Quelle showed his {10-Diamonds}
