Fernandez Finds the Call
Level 3
: 3,000/7,000, 7,000 ante
Pablo Fernandez bet 150,000 on the river from the big blind with a ten-high straight sitting on the felt. There were also three diamonds on board, and Fernandez's opponent raised to 400,000, bringing a big sigh from the Spaniard. He thought for about 30 seconds and put in a call.
"Board," his opponent said.
"I have a jack," Fernandez replied, showing 
for a jack-high straight to take it down.
Meanwhile, the tournament is pushing closer to 150 entries here on Day 1a. Joe Serock, Sam Panzica and Dak Shak are some of the notables recently taking seats.
