English Only at the Tables (Jacobo Fernandez)

[user22113]

While it is true that Jacobo Fernandez speaks very little english, we can report that "raise" and "all-in" are definitely in his vocabulary. Jacobo had accumulated 1.3 million chips and entered Day Five in a solid second place and is still right there in second with 2.5 million.
