From Foe to Friend

Veronica Dabul and Leo Fernandez on Day 1
Veronica Dabul and Leo Fernandez on Day 1
Throughout the tournament, Leo Fernandez has been at the center of attention. On Day 1 his table was surrounded by film crews, photographers, reporters, floor staff...and that was before he lost 90% of his chips in a huge hand during the first level. The crowd REALLY got crazy then, as a six-deep mob pressed as close as they could (or dared) to see what had happened to their native son.

But, Fernandez dug in and fought his way back from that early disaster and now finds himself at the final table. And one of his most enthusiastic supporters is Veronica Dabul, a fellow Team PokerStars Pro, who was sitting to Leo's right on Day 1 when he was crippled just minutes into the tournament. Now he's sitting at the final table, and Veronica is sitting right there in the front row by the stage, rooting Leo on.
