Chris Ferguson Doubles Up

[user40108]

After one player limped from the cutoff, Chris Ferguson raised to 900 from the small blind. The big blind passed and the limper made the call.

The flop came {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

and Ferguson bet 1,000. His opponent raised, making it 2,5000 straight and Ferguson moved all in for 3,900 total. His opponent called and the players showed:

Ferguson: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

Opponent:

{9-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

Up against a flush draw and an inside straight draw, Ferguson had to dodge a lot of cards. Luckily for him, the turn came the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

and the river the {6-Hearts}

{6-Hearts}

. Ferguson's top pair was best and he doubled up to approximately 9,400.
