Ferguson Bets Out Varnell

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On the first hand of the final table, Josh Hawkins was all in and up against Connor Hayward, but both players turned over ace-king and chopped the pot.

Michael Varnell then raised to 65,000 on the button and Joseph Ferguson called in the big blind.

Varnell continued for 40,000 on the 10♥6♠3♦ flop, and Ferguson raised to 80,000. Varnell called, and the 5♥ fell on the turn.

Ferguson then bet 130,000, and Varnell called. The river was the Q♦ and Ferguson bet 150,000. Varnell took a minute, but he eventually gave up his hand this time.
