Chris "Jesus" Ferguson raised to 2,000 preflop. Grant Lang called from middle position. Both players checked a flop of {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}. On the {2-Spades} turn, Ferguson bet 3,000 and Lang raised to 7,500. After taking his time as he always does, Ferguson called the raise.

The river brought the {6-Clubs} and Ferguson checked. Lang bet 11,000 and Ferguson thought again before making the call.

Ferguson mucked his hand when Lang showed 2-2 for bottom set of deuces.

Lang commented on the hand as he raked in the pot by saying, "Only thing I was worried about was set over set. Other than that I can't lose money."
