Sánchez Takes From Fernandez
Level 23
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Guillermo Sánchez opened to 125,000 with K♠Q♥ in early position, only to see chip leader Ramon Fernandez three-bet to 325,000 with A♥4♥. Action folded around to Sánchez, who made the call.
The dealer fanned out a flop of 3♦5♠J♦ and both players checked to the K♣ turn. Sánchez then checked again on the K♣ turn, making the call when Fernandez fired 400,000.
The K♥ river saw another check to Fernandez, who bet 800,000. Sánchez quickly announced a call and Fernandez was left smirking after seeing the trip kings to send the chips to his left.
