Ferguson's Jacks No Good

Chris Ferguson is known for being a laidback, friendly guy. He's engaging in light banter with some of his table mates. One player suggested that the limit events at the World Series should start at Level 3, with short stacks and tall blinds, to turn the tournaments into a total craps shoot.

"That's the only way we could beat [Phil] Ivey," joked Ferguson. "If it was a craps shoot."

Shortly thereafter, Ferguson was in the small blind during a hand of hold'em and three-bet a late position raiser before the flop. That player called to a flop of {2-Hearts} {2-Clubs} {7-Spades}. Ferguson bet the flop, bet the turn {q-Clubs} then check-called a bet from his opponent on the river {Q-Hearts}. We never got to see Ferguson's hand; he mucked upon being shown {J-Clubs} {J-Spades}.
