Playing it Safe?

Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson
Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson
While we hate to speculate, Chris Ferguson just played a hand against an unknown opponent that if played out 100 times with 100 different opponents, the action would've played out differently than it did just moments ago:

Pre-flop, Ferguson came in for a reraise from the small blind and made it a total of 1,250 to go. His lone opponent called and they saw a flop of {6-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}.

Ferguson then made a continuation bet of 2,000 and his opponent quickly called. The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and both players knuckled the table, opting to see the river for free.

The {5-Diamonds} was the last card off the deck and Ferguson fired a bet of 4,500. His opponent tanked for some time before eventually making the call. The man they call 'Jesus' turned over {10-Diamonds} {10-Spades} for a full house and his opponent sluggishly revealed the {A-Hearts} {8-Hearts} for... that's right... quads.

Although he lost the hand, Chris was all smiles afterwards, presumably thinking about how bad things could've been. He was left with a still-manageable 40,700 after the hand.
