The hand after Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson eliminated a player, he is restacking his chips, and the dealer accidentally forgets to deal him cards. When the action gets around to Ferguson in middle position, he starts looking, but can't find any, even under the chips.

A player across the table says, "You can win without cards," and another adds, "It's the only way we can beat you." The dealer looks at Ferguson and jokes, "I thought you said you wanted to be dealt out the next hand."

Everyone mucks their cards, and the hand is redealt.
