Jacobo Fernandez - 3rd Place

Daniel Makowsky limped from the button, Jacobo Fernandez raised to 200,000 from the small blind, and Layne Flack called from the big blind.

The flop was the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

. Flack bet pot, Fernandez reraised all in, and Flack called.

Fernandez: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

Flack:

{6-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

{4-Hearts}

{2-Spades}

Flack had flopped sixes full of tens. Fernandez needed an ace or a ten, or he was done.

The turn was the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

and the river the {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

, and Fernandez was out in third place.

Even so, another terrific showing for Fernandez has vaulted him to the top of the WSOP Player of the Year points race.
