Chris Ferguson Eliminated; Moneymaker Continues to Roll

Sorry Jesus...No Miracles for you
Sorry Jesus...No Miracles for you
After a flop of {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} and with 23,000 in the pot, Chris Moneymaker bets 9,000 from the small blind and Humberto Brenes calls from the big blind. Chris "Jesus" Ferguson then moves all in from the high jack for 71,000. Moneymaker tanks for a moment before making the call. Brenes gets out of the way.

Chris Ferguson shows {10-Hearts} {10-Spades} for a pair with a open ended straight draw. Moneymaker has him in bad shape with {J-Clubs} {10-Clubs} . Jesus can only hit one card to win and only has about a 30% chance to split the pot.

The turn and river are blanks and Ferguson is eliminated. Meanwhile, Moneymaker appears to be one of the current chip leaders with 415,000.
