Butteroni Doubles Through Fernandez
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 500 ante
Pablo Fernandez raised to 12,000 and Federico Butteroni three-bet to 49,000 out of the small blind. What followed was William Kassouf-esque speech play by Butteroni and Fernandez indeed called, then almost tabled his cards even though Butteroni still had 6,500 behind. Fernandez bet that amount in the dark and Butteroni called all in while the flop came 
Federico Butteroni: 
Pablo Fernandez: 
The 
turn was a sweat, and the 
river changed nothing to let the Italian double.
