The turn was the {8-Spades} and both players checked.

On the {Q-Spades} river, Fernandez fired a small bet of 650. Cerruti thought about it for a bit, then decided to call. Fernandez showed him his {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts} and that was good enough for him to take down the pot.

Crosa Continues To Dominate; Finds Three Streets From Niciforo

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

With action in a three-way pot, Martin Crosa was facing off against two other opponents. The pot was already over 5,000 chips and action was on Crosa in the small blind. He fired 7,100 and found a call from Marcelo Caceres while the other player folded.

The turn was the {6-Spades} and Crosa bet again, this time firing 12,700. Caceres once again called.

On the {3-Diamonds} river Crosa fired one more time. This time betting 27,500. Caceres sighed, then called after a couple minutes of thought. Crosa showed him {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds} and it was good to take down the big pot as Caceres mucked his hand.
