Ferguson Takes a Pot from Tran

On a board showing {9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}, Chris Ferguson passed the first action to J.C. Tran, who led out with a 2,500 bet. Employing his trademark patient, yet deliberate routine, "Jesus" made the call.

The river brought the {A-Diamonds} and again, Ferguson checked to Tran, who rapped the table behind. Ferguson tabled pocket jacks which were good enough to take down the pot, upping his chip count to 28,100 at the break.

At the break, I asked Chris how J.C.'s presence changes the dynamic of the table and he had this to say (paraphrased): "Having J.C. at the table definitely changes the dynamic . . . though he hasn't been as active today as he usually is. You know, it's interesting -- he won a lot of his chips today by picking off bluffs."
