Daune Fernandez is one of the more experienced players left in the field, but so far he hasn’t been able to accumulate the chips he needs to really dominate the tables he’s been on. The recent pot he won didn’t solve that problem – but it is a step in the right direction.
Steven Valitalo raised all in for his last 225K from utg+1 and action folded around to Daune in the sb – with a player’s folded Jack-Nine being exposed along the way. Daune went all in for (slightly) over, and Mike Lafable folded his bb.
The cards were exposed:
Steven:
Daune:
Daune was way behind, but the flop too care of things nicely for him: . The last two cards were no help for the JJ – came out to pair the board and give Daune a full house. Daune is now back up around the 500K mark – about average with just 23 players left.
