Fernandez Pats His Jack, Survives

Justin Smith raised from the cutoff seat, and big blind Jacobo Fernandez made the call. He drew two cards while Smith wanted three. After the draw, Fernandez made a bet and was called.

The players drew the same cards on the second draw, and Fernandez bet all in for his last 3,600. Smith didn't seem to realize that his opponent was so short-stacked, and he quickly called to put him to the test.

On the last draw, Fernandez stood his ground while Smith pulled one last card. "Do you have a jack?" he asked. Fernandez nodded and tabled J-8-6-5-3. It was either wishful thinking or a great read by Justin, and he showed T-9-3-2 as he squeezed his last card. It was a king though, and he couldn't improve to the ten low.

Fernandez grabs some much needed chips, doubling up to 18,000 and dropping Smith down to 42,000.
