This Game Requires an Ace

Fernando Jacobo goes for a ride
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} {8-Spades} , while Fernando had two eights in the whole. The board filled out {10-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} as Porcalla double through Fernando.

The second hand (two hands later) had all the money going in as Carol Hampton pitted her {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} v. Fernando's {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} . The better ace held up through out the board of {A-Spades} {10-Clubs} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts} {7-Clubs} . Fernando doubled up his second opponent and was left with only 7,700 in chips.

The next hand, Fernando made his stand with {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts} and got a call from Jason Sanders in the big bling who showed {A-Diamonds} {7-Spades} . This time the board revealed an ace in favor of Fernando as the flop came {J-Spades} {5-Clubs} {A-Clubs} then rounded out {2-Spades} {8-Clubs} providing no more drama.

The ebb and flow saw Fernando finally settle down with around 16,000 left if front of him.
