[user75032]

Chris Ferguson was in prime position to barrel past the 2-million chip mark. He wound up getting Mark Bryan to stack off preflop with {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

against Ferguson's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

. Ferguson took a stranglehold on the hand with a flop of {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

{2-Spades}

, making top pair of aces and leaving Bryan drawing at running cards for the one million chip pot. One runner, the {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

, hit the turn; a second runner, the {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

, hit the river, giving Bryan the second nut flush.

When the stacks were counted down, Bryan had 503,000 chips. He doubled to just over one million; that 503,000-chip hit knocked Ferguson back to 1,218,000.
