Massive Pot

The two remaining players just played the largest pot of the day, by a big margin. Ruthenberg and Ferguson got bets in on every street and went to showdown with 1,400,000 in the middle.

Ruthenberg (X) (X) {A-Diamonds} {2-Spades} {8-Spades} {A-Spades} (X)
Ferguson: (X) (X) {5-Spades} {5-Clubs} {8-Hearts} {K-Clubs} (X)

The players got one bet each in on third and fourth streets, two bets on fifth and sixth streets, and one more bet apiece on seventh. When the dust settled, it was Ruthenberg who tabled the winner. His down cards were {A-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, making him the winning trip aces. Ferguson flashed the case {5-Diamonds}, which meant he had trips of his own. It wasn't good enough though, and Ferguson shipped the pot and the chip lead over to his opponent. Jesus is now back down to 825,000.
