Fernando Jacobo goes for a ride

Fernando Jacobo has been on quite the roller coaster in the past few hands. Each adventure has involved an ace in some form. His chip stack has taken the brunt of the blow, but Fernando's psyche is also on a ride. The following took place over the course of just a few hand in a matter of minutes:

The first hand saw Fernando call a preflop all in of table mate Emilio Porcalla who held {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

, while Fernando had two eights in the whole. The board filled out {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

as Porcalla double through Fernando.

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Spades}

v. Fernando's {A-Clubs}

. The better ace held up through out the board of {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{10-Clubs}

{8-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

{7-Clubs}

and got a call from Jason Sanders in the big bling who showed {A-Diamonds}

then rounded out {2-Spades}
