Hand #93 - Chris Ferguson

James Akenhead has the button in seat 9. Chris Ferguson moves all in from the cutoff for 210,000. James Akenhead raises to 500,000 from the button and both blinds fold. It's heads up between Ferguson and Akenhead and the players show:

Akenhead: {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts}
Ferguson: {K-Clubs} {8-Hearts}

The audience is on their feet, most of which are rooting for Ferguson. The flop comes down {K-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs} putting Ferguson into the lead. In contrast to the rowdy roars heard at other times, Ferguson's supporters clapped triumphantly when the flop came down. The turn was a blank coming the {7-Diamonds}. After a dramatic pause, the river fell the {5-Diamonds} and Ferguson survived. He doubled up to about 500,000.
