Level 32 : Blinds 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

The J7J flop led to a check from Bustos. Fernandez continued for 850,000 and was called by Bustos.

Bustos checked again on the 5 turn, which led to a bet of 1,400,000 from Fernandez. Bustos once again made the call.

The 2 river led to an all-in from Bustos. Fernandez quickly made the call to put himself at risk for 3,300,000.

Bustos showed 66 for two pair jacks and sixes, but it was no good as Fernandez tabled AA for a better two pair to claim the big pot.
