Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jose Fernandes opened to 10,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 25,000 by Jon Vallinas in the hijack. Action folded back around to Fernandes, who called.

Fernandes check-called a 15,000 bet from Vallinas on the A♠Q♣2♣ flop and then both players checked on the J♥ turn.

Fernandes checked a final time on the 9♣ river and Vallinas announced he was all in, which was enough to put Fernandes all in for his last 35,000.

Fernandes decided to lay his hand down after a bit of thought and Vallinas dragged the pot.
