Derick Hernandez Eliminated On Day 3 of WSOP 2008

Derek Hernandez, World Series of Poker PlayerOne day shy of making it in the money, Derick had a very big chip stack and could have cruised into day 4. The poker gods decided otherwise, and in a table that had only one bigger stack, Derick got Pocket Kings. After some aggressive betting pre-flop, on the flop, and on the turn, on the river with a board of 3C 5S 3D 9S 8D, Alberto Font moved all in against Frederick Hernandez. Font had Hernandez covered. Hernandez made the call and showed KS KC and Font showed AH AD. After the hand, Font moved up to 773,000 in chips and became the new chip leader.

Although we did not have any of our local guys cash this year, they still had a strong showing making it to day 3 in a field of over 6,800 other hopefuls.

Congratulations to Neil and Derick for representing the country and showing the world how good our poker players really are!
