Hand #105 -

Chris Ferguson has the button in seat 8 and he moves all in for 815,000. James Akenhead quickly calls and Grant Hinkle gets out of the way. The players table their hands.

Ferguson: {K-Spades} {10-Spades}
Akenhead: {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}

Cries from the gallery are coming left and right..."spades...ace...king." It's hard to tell who wants what. The flop comes {Q-Hearts} {8-Spades} {A-Diamonds}. There are plenty of cheers. When the {4-Clubs} hits the turn, Ferguson is now drawing to a jack and a jack only. If he fails to catch one, he'll be our third place finisher. The river is.....the {5-Hearts}.

Chris Ferguson finishes in 3rd place and in addition to a lengthy ovation from the crowd here, will also collect $388,287 in prize money.
