Big Bucks, No Whammies...

A big pot between Justin Sadauskas and Alfredo Fernandez didn't lead to anyone's elimination, but it did lead to a complete reversal of fortune for both men. We caught up with them on the turn, the board showing {6-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades}. Sadauskas was all in for 488,000 and Fernandez, who had him covered, made the call. Sadauskas was well ahead, with {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} for two pair against Fernandez's {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} for top pair, top kicker. The river was a harmless {5-Diamonds}.

After the hand, the two men basically traded chip positions -- Fernandez fell to 560,000, while Sadauskas moved up to 1,080,000.
