Don't Mess With the Jesus

From late position, Jeff Baker opened with a raise to 1,100, and Chris Ferguson bumped it up to 3,200 from the big blind. Baker called, and it was heads up the rest of the way.

The dealer ran out a flop of {Q-Diamonds} {3-Clubs} {5-Spades}, and Ferguson continued out with a bet of 5,000 in the form of a single blue chip flicked like a coin from his hand. Baker mulled it over for just a minute before making the call.

The turn card came the {5-Clubs} to pair the board, and Ferguson kept the heat on with another 11,000 chips. Baker took his pause for just a moment longer this time, but he would again put in the calling chips.

The last card off the deck was the {6-Clubs}, and Ferguson wasn't slowing down now. He methodically pulled out a bet before settling on an all in, sliding his whole stack of ~24,000 into the middle. That was too much for Baker as he shook his head and returned his cards to the dealer.

After picking up that nice pot, Ferguson's stack has grown to about 65,000.
