[user46392]

David Singer made it a slightly-over-minimum-raise 45,000, and Fernandez called. They both checked the {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

flop. On the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

turn, Fernandez bet 50,000; after a pause for deliberation, Singer called. They checked the {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

river and Singer took the fairly chunky pot with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

while Fernandez could only boast {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}
