Ferguson Refuses to Die

The Cinderella story continues for Chris Ferguson, who was down to just 7,500 chips when we were at blinds of 4,000 / 8,000 / 1,000 and had to post a small blind of 4,000 and an ante of 1,000.

On this hand, Theo Tran opened the pot for 90,000. Ferguson, slow and deliberate as always, took approximately twenty seconds before moving his whole stack of 539,000 chips into the middle. Action folded to Aaron Coulthard on the button, who tanked for at least a minute before raising all in for over 1.5 million. A gasp went up from the crowd as the blinds and Tran folded and got out of the way.
