LOL Straight-Over-Straightaments

The desperately short-stacked Adam Matusiak found himself all in against both Carsten Girst and Chris Ferguson and they made it all the way to the river of the {J-?} {5-?} {6-?} {J-?} {4-?} board before Ferguson pushed Girst off the pot with a 1,500 bet.

Proceeding to showdown with the the all-in Matusiak, Ferguson flipped {2-?} {3-?} for a rivered straight -- but Matusiak turned over {7-?} {3-?} for a higher straight and a triple up to a still frankly desperate 3,600.

"Well, he did have me dominated," noted an amused Ferguson.
