Dominican Dominates

[user46392]

The balance has been slowly tipping towards Fernandez in recent minutes. By the way, although he currently resides in Florida, he is actually originally from the Dominican Republic, thus facilitating some further punning hilarity.

Our finalists limp and check their way to the turn of a {J-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{2-Hearts}

board, before Fernandez bets a relatively small 40,000 in position. Singer calls, and then checks the {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

river. Fernandez says nothing but turns over {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

for two pair. Singer mucks.

Then, with 100,000 in the pot preflop, Fernandez smooth-calls Singer's 65,000 bet on the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

flop. They both check the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

turn, and Singer gives it up to Fernandez' 175,000 pop at the {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

river.
