Ferguson: 
Opponent: 
With Ferguson needing a miracle to remain alive, the 
flop saw him flop the wheel to take a commanding lead in the hand.
The 
on the turn changed little, but it would be the 
on the river that would see the antes chopped up as Ferguson was unlucky not to receive his full share of the pot.
