It took awhile, but Chris Ferguson finally got the hand he was looking for. From middle position, Ferguson put in a raise and the lone caller was the big blind.

The flop came {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{K-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

and the big blind passed to Ferguson who led out with a bet. The big blind then check-raised, prompting Ferguson to three-bet the pot, which put his opponent all-in. The big blind made the call and turned over {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

for bottom pair; Ferguson showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

for top pair, top kicker.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

, giving the big blind an open-ended straight draw, but the {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

on the river ended his hopes of outdrawing Chris.

The hand brought "Jesus" up to 18,000 on the day.
