Jesus Fernandez before the turn card

We’ll admit that the title is factually accurate whilst also being a little misleading as all the chip went in pre-flop, but it was a pretty sick run out.

It was Sahashi Hideki who was the man to send our latest casualty, Jesus Fernandez, to the rail and the Japanese player was the initial pre-flop aggressor, opening the action with a raise to what looked to be 80,000 in the hi-jack.

Sitting in the small blind Fernandez took a gander at his hole cards and moved all-in for a little over 600,000 – which was also around the same as Hideki had. The Japanese player made the call and the cards were turned over.

Jesus Fernandez: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Sahashi Hideki: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Fernandez thought it was his lucky day when the flop came down {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} to give him a set and see him take the lead. However, what the poker gods giveth they can also taketh away and the turn was the {j-Diamonds} meaning the UK-based Spaniard needed to hit the deck’s sole remaining four. The {2-Diamonds} river was not it and the field is now down to 16.
