That's Not Right

Just before the break, on a flop of {8-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {3-Hearts}, 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} {K-Clubs}
Fernandez: {A-Diamonds} {Q-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.
