Chris "Jesus" Ferguson Eliminated

Once again the short stack goes up against the big stack and takes the worst of it.

By the way, Chris did a brief ESPN interview at the table and then headed directly to the Omaha8 Event that started just under two hours ago.

The Chris Bell elimination hand also cost Chris Ferguson a big portion of his stack. He just laid down his small blind and is now super short at 98K.

With only four big blinds left, Chris Bell made his stand but he faced calls from both Chris Ferguson and Tom Schneider. Two pair for Chris did not stand up and he is our 5th-place finisher.

Five Players Remaining

The last 16 hands: Each player has taken down the blinds once and we have seen 11 chopped pots.

Everyone is looking for a shot at chipleader Tom Schneider and, of course, Tom is willing to accomodate --- that's how he got all those chips.
