Fantastic Flop for Ferguson

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Benjamin Underwood opened to 2,800 and was immediately raised by William Ferguson who moved al lin for 11,000.

When the action folded back to him, Underwood quickly made the call to put Ferguson at risk.

William Ferguson: K♦Q♦
Benjamin Underwood: 10♦10♠

Underwood was in the lead to start, but after the flop of 3♦9♦Q♦, he was a huge underdog to Ferguson's top pair and flush draw. The board ran out 5♠8♦ to improve Ferguson to a flush on the river to take the pot for a double-up.

Why Would Woods Call

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Meinrado Cruz opened to 2,100 under-the-gun and was called by five other players to go to a flop of 10♠6♠9♥.

Cruz continued for 2,000 and was called by Jeffrey Griffiths in the hi-jack and Jimmy Woods in the cutoff. The three of them then went to the turn 9♥, which Cruz and Griffiths both checked. Woods then announced a bet of 7,000 and both of his opponents folded .

"I almost put you all in," Cruz said to Woods.

"Well what stopped you?" he replied as he raked in the pot.

"I didn't want you to have an eight," said Cruz, to which Woods shook his head and said,"why would I call with an eight on that flop..."

Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

On a heads-up completed board of 10♦9♣6♣9♠3♣, there was already around 14,500 in the middle when Dinh Le set out a bet of 9,000.

The action was then on Sean David, who responded by moving all in for 29,000, covering Le, who then went into the tank.

After about ten seconds, he made the call to put himself at risk and tabled 6♠6♦ for a full house, but was then shown 10♣9♦ by David for an even bigger boat and he was eliminated.
