Jesus Abides by the Rule

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson moved all in from middle position preflop and was called by the small blind. Ferguson turned over A-9 while his opponent showed Q-J. The board fell {9-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} to give his opponent Broadway on the turn, eliminating Ferguson from the field.

After the hand, Ferguson announced, "Every time I'm down to 650, I go all in. That's my rule."
