Ferguson Adds On

A player in early position opened the pot for 900 chips, and Chris Ferguson was the only caller, from the small blind. The flop came down {J-Hearts}{K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Ferguson checked, and his opponent moved all in. The bet covered a good portion of Ferguson's stack, and he made the call with top pair, {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. The other player had {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, and needed to fill his gutshot straight draw to stay alive. The turn and river came {J-Clubs}, {6-Clubs}, failing to improve his hand, and he shipped all of his chips over to Ferguson's stack. Ferguson now has right around 15,000.
