Jesus Walks

Ferguson eliminated
Ferguson eliminated
Richard Ashby limped from middle position, Graeme "Kiwi G" Putt limped from middle position, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson limped from the cutoff seat and then Florian Langmann raised to 2,600 from the button. Jeff Lisandro and Jamie Pickering folded their blinds, Ashby and Putt folded and then Ferguson called.

The flop came down {8-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Ferguson led out for 4,000. He left himself with 5,200 behind. Langmann tanked and then stuck out a bunch of chips to put Ferguson all in. Ferguson double checked his cards and then made the call.

Ferguson: {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}
Langmann: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}

This was Team PokerStars (Langmann) versus Team Full Tilt (Ferguson). Ferguson held a bunch of overcards to the board and an open-ended straight draw. Langmann also held overs along with a pair of sevens.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and gave Langmann trips, but it did add a flush draw for Ferguson. The river was the {A-Hearts} and improved Langmann to a full house.

Ferguson was eliminated from the tournament and Langmann moved up to 53,000 chips.

Amit in the Penalty Box

Rafi Amit just landed himself a five-minute penalty for being on his phone while seated the table. The tournament staff put a timer next to Amit's chips with a countdown from five minutes. Amit found this funny and laughed as he walked off to the rail where he was to serve his penalty.

Watson Lets Zowie Have This One

On the flop of {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Mike "SirWatts" Watson bet 2,400 and Michael Zowie made the call.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and Watson checked. Zowie fired 7,000 and Watson folded, dropping to 31,000. Zowie moved up to 68,000.

Mike "SirWatts" Watson won the WPT's Bellagio Cup IV in July of 2008 for over $1.6 million. He also won a side event at the Bellagio Cup V the next year for over $140,000. At this Aussie Millions, Watson had a win under his belt as well. He scored first in the No Limit Hold'em with Rebuys event for just shy of $130,000 AUD.
