With the board reading {9-Hearts} {9-Spades} {6-Clubs} {8-Spades} on the turn, Petteri Pirinen led out for 200,000, Alfredo Fernandez moved all in and Pirinen snap-called.

Fernandez turned up {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} and was relieved to see Pirinen's {7-Hearts} {8-Clubs} after he had called so quickly.

"Dude, I swear to God I thought he had a nine. I was going to start crying," said Fernandez.

The river was the {7-Spades}. Fernandez's aces and nines were the better two pair and Pirinen was eliminated in 102nd place. After the hand, Fernandez was up to 2,100,000.
