Jacobo Fernandez is on a hot streak!
Jacobo Fernandez of Hollywood reached his second final table and cashed for the fourth time at the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.
Fernandez finished fourth in the $5,000 no-limit Hold 'em event, of 731 players. He earned $238,781.
He had plenty of company from South Florida: Benjamin Springers of Plantation was third and $292,034. Rajesh Vohra of Lake Worth was fifth ($195,834) and Miramar's Michael Mizrachi 11th ($42,946).
Fernandez is tied for the WSOP for most cashes this year. There are 33 events to go (No. 22 ended with no locals in the money). He is profiled on cardplayer.com.
Event No. 23: $2,000 No-Limit Hold 'em: Rich Lenoble, Coral Springs, 12th, $29,108; Matthew Ehrlich, Wellington, 19th, $13,208; Robert Perry, Highland Beach, 53rd, $7,582; Joshua Moskow, Boynton Beach, 63rd, $6,849.
Event No. 25: $1,000 Heads-Up Hold 'em: Robert Mizrachi, Sunny Isles, 8th, $54,144; Michael Mizrachi, Miramar, 11th $36,096. Note that because it was a heads-up NCAA bracket-type event, eighth is the same as fifth, sixth or seventh... i.e., knocked out in the quarterfinals; and 11th is the same as 9 through 16, all eliminated in the prior round.
No. 26: $1,500 Seven-card razz: Ted Lawson, Plantation, 38th, $2,473. (Gotta check on his status; he's up there in cashes this year, too.)
