Nines Prove to be Big Against Little

Jesus walks ... into the final four.
Jesus walks ... into the final four.
Jonathan Little shoved his remaining stack into the middle against Chris "Jesus" Ferguson pre-flop, holding {7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} against another pocket pair of nines for Ferguson.

A flop of {3-Hearts}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts} showed no promise for Little. The turn brought {5-Hearts}, and the river the {4-Clubs} which left Little on the outside looking in. Jonathan received a nice round of applause for his solid showing in his first Heads-Up Championship appearance.

Jesus will face the winner of Phil Ivey v. Gus Hansen in the semifinals.
