Fernández Extracts Maximum Value with Full House to Take the Lead
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
We arrived at the table with action already underway and close to 10,000 chips in the middle. Team Pro CNP Ramón Fernández, from middle position, led out for 6,000 on a flop of K♦J♠5♠, and only Javier Becerril, seated in the button, made the call.
The A♥ turn saw Fernández check before springing a check raise to 22,000 after his opponent bet. Becerril hesitated briefly before calling.
When the A♠ river paired the board, Fernández moved all-in, sending his opponent deep into the tank. After some thought, the button committed the call.
Javier Becerril: 10♠9♠
Ramón Fernández: A♦K♣
Fernández had rivered a full house against his opponent's flush in a brutal cooler, dragging a pot worth close to 200,000 chips and vaulting into the chip lead.
