Ferguson Headed the Wrong Way

Nothing is going right for Chris Ferguson today. He raised preflop from late position to see Cornel Andrew Cimpan move all in behind him for roughly 180,000. Ferguson quickly called with {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}; Cimpan turned over {A-Spades} {Q-Spades}. It was a safe flop of {K-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {4-Spades} for Ferguson, but the {A-Diamonds} on the turn made a pair of aces for Cimpan. The river {10-Hearts} did not improve Ferguson; he had to pay off another short stack and is down to 1.18 million after starting the day at 1.72 million.
