Fernandez Survives on the River

Ian Simpson raised to 32,000 in middle position and Martin Fernandez moved all in for 299,000 in middle position. Marcos Paneque called for his last 50,000 on the button, while Simpson also called to put both opponents at risk.

Marcos Paneque: K♠J♠ All in
Martin Fernandez: A♠K♦ All in
Ian Simpson: 8♥8♠

Simpson had a chance for the double knockout if his eights could hold up, and he was poised to do just that as the board came 7♣9♠2♠9♥. The river, though, was the A♣ and Fernandez hit two pair to scoop the pot, earning a double up off Simpson while sending Paneque to the rail.
