Jacobo's Ladder

If anyone is taking this final table by the scruff of the neck, it's Jacobo Fernandez, who has taken down a number of big pots without having to show many of his hands.

His most recent of triumphs involved Joe Tehan, Fernandez calling Tehan's 30,000 preflop raise and seeing a {5-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} flop. Tehan bet out what appeared to be 84,000 (no announcement of bets here), and again, Fernandez made the call.

After both players checked the {K-Hearts} turn, Fernandez rolled out 100,000 on the {5-Spades} river to leave Tehan with a seemingly torturous decision. Squirming in his seat as Fernandez riffled his chips calmly, Tehan mulled over his options before finally opting for the fold.

As a result, Fernandez retains his chip lead and is beginning to look more and more dominant as this final table progresses.
