Ferguson Looks at Disastrous Runout

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

Chris Ferguson raised over Steven Albini's completion and Albini called with an ace. Both players received a jack on fourth street and Ferguson fired again, getting a call.

A jack paired Albini's board on fifth and Albini led out. Ferguson called with three consecutive cards, but what he saw on sixth street was catastrophic. Albini received another pair on his board with the {A-Diamonds} and he blasted.

Ferguson was visibly pained. He had a strong board himself but even if he held a straight, he knew he could be very well be drawing dead. He had two bets behind and took about a minute to finally convince himself to let it go.

Steven Albini: {X-}{X-} / {A-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}
Chris Ferguson: {X-}{X-} / {10-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} - fold

Chris Ferguson
Chris Ferguson

Chris Ferguson and Jeff Lisandro both had an eight in the door and they went to war. Ferguson completed, Lisandro raised, and Ferguson called.

Lisandro continued on fourth street and Ferguson raised. Lisandro called.

Ferguson had his foot firmly on the gas pedal and kept dropping shell after shell. Lisandro called on fifth, sixth, as well as on the river.

"Three sixes," Ferguson said and tabled {6-Spades}{6-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} / {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. But Lisandro turned up {J-Hearts}{J-Spades}{9-} / {8-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for higher trips.
