Guerrero Takes a Huge Pot from the Chip Leader to Stay Alive
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
We arrived at the table with action already underway on a board of 10♣J♦5♣Q♣. Alberto Guerrero snap called a bet of 100,000 from Ramón Fernández, seated two spots away. With 66,000 already in the middle, the former CNP Team Pro was at serious risk of elimination.
Alberto Guerrero: J♥10♥ 
Ramón Fernández: 9♥8♥
Fernández had a straight, while Guerrero was drawing thin with two pair. However, the J♣ river paired the board, improving Guerrero to a full house.
Guerrero, who appeared headed for the exit just moments earlier, instead dragged a pot worth around 250,000 chips and was suddenly right back in contention.
