Ferguson Can't Straighten Out

[user75032]

An ITM Phillips is all smiles.

We've lost one of our previous NBC Heads-Up champions. Chris Ferguson got his shot stack in on the turn of a board that developed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{9-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

{J-Diamonds}

. Dennis Phillips made the call with {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

; he had to fade Ferguson's up-and-down straight draw with {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

. He did when the river paired the board a harmless {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

.

Ferguson smiled, shook Phillips' hand, and departed the set for good. Phillips will be back later for a Sweet 16 match.
