Jacobo Fernandez Eliminated; Wolpert Riding High

Jacobo Fernandez
Jacobo Fernandez
A big three-way hand over at Table #2 resulted in Jacobo Fernandez hitting the rail.

Fernandez limped in from the cutoff, then Christopher Howard raised to 4,000 from the button. Leo Wolpert then reraised all in -- 121,000 -- from the small blind. Fernandez called with his last 71,000, and Howard called with almost his entire stack as well.

Wolpert {A-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Fernandez {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}
Howard {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Hearts}{A-Spades}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and Fernandez hit the rail. Wolpert is now up to 307,000 (over half of the chips in play), and Howard is hurting, down to 8,500.
