Fernandez Leaves Paneque on Fumes in Massive Cooler
Level 20
: Blinds 80,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
With around 180,000 in the pot on a flop of 7♦J♥9♣, Alberto Fernandez got in his last 370,000 from the big blind as Marcos Paneque put him at risk in early position.
Alberto Fernandez: 9♠9♥
Marcos Paneque: 7♥7♠
Both players had flopped a set, while Fernandez was in the lead with his nines. The rest of the board ran out K♠10♣ and Fernandez doubled up.
"Whoa, momma," Paneque said while handing over most of his stack.
The next hand at this table, Ian Simpson picked up K♣K♦ on the button against Thierry Mulin's 10♦10♣ and held on a board of 8♥J♣Q♣6♦2♣ to double up to more than 600,000.
