Chris Ferguson Eliminated in 6th Place

Level 12 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Erik Seidel had the button, and Richard Yong and Chris Ferguson were in the blinds. Sam Trickett made it 60,000 to go, Yong made the call and Ferguson called as well.

The flop came {7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} and all three players checked.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and Yong checked, allowing Ferguson to bet 125,000. Trickett stared at the board, and counted a stack of yellow, 5k chips that were in his left hand before announcing he was all in. Yong forgot it was on him before finally folding, and Ferguson quickly made the call. Once again, Trickett flopped huge holding pocket fives, which had Ferguson's pocket deuces crushed.

Chris Ferguson: {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Sam Trickett: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}

The river would bring "Jesus" no miracles, and Trickett was shipped about 500,000 more chips.

We're unable to get an exact count on Trickett, as there has been a good bit of fluctuation, but we think he's on about 2.5 million as we approach the money bubble.
