Fernandez Double-Up

[user46392]

Jacobo Fernandez raised to 12,000 under the gun, only for Gregg Merkow to make it 40,000 from the small blind. Fernandez called. Merkow checked the {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

flop, and then called Fernandez's 15,500 all-in shove.

Merkow had only {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Spades}

and Fernandez's {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

stayed ahead all the way through the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

turn and the {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

river to double him up to 115,000.
