Ferguson Falls Back a Bit

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson made a minimum-raise to 800 from UTG+1, and it folded back to the big blind who made the call. The flop came {Q-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}. The BB checked, Ferguson bet 1,000, his opponent check-raised to 3,000, and Ferguson -- with his usual deliberation -- called.

The turn was the {Q-Hearts}. The big blind checked, and Ferguson again took his time before checking as well. The river was the {2-Diamonds}, the BB quickly checked, and Ferguson a little less quickly checked, too.

Ferguson's opponent showed {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} for sixes full of queens, and Ferguson tossed his cards face up to the dealer, who scooped them up quickly, though it appeared he'd had pocket nines.

Ferguson has about 35,000 now.
