"The Rich Get Richer"

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

The cards were on their backs between an all-in player and runaway chip-leader Marcos Fernandez.

Fernandez: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}
All-in player: {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades}{7-Clubs}

The flop was {3-Hearts}{5-Spades}{8-Hearts} giving the all-in player a low as well as a wheel draw for a shot at the high. The turn was the {8-Diamonds} meaning that Fernandez was guaranteed at least half the pot. He needed to hit a two on the river, and with the all-in player holding one in his hand the chances of that were reduced somewhat.

The river was the {2-Clubs} and Fernandez increased his considerable chipstack even further.

"And the rich get richer," remarked one of his tablemates.
