Salas Starts Out Right

We walked up to Leo Fernandez's table to see him involved in a pot on the turn. The board showed {J-Spades} {J-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, and Fernandez led out with a bet. Fernando Iturrino was his lone opponent, and he made the call to put about 19,000 chips in the pot going to the river.

It was the {J-Diamonds}, putting trips on board. Fernandez bet again, this time much more impressively. He announced an all in for about 55,000 total, sending Iturrino deep into the tank. After several long minutes of debate, he said, "No," and slid his cards back into the muck.

That first pot of the day pushes Fernandez up to about 75,000.
