Jesus Arrives

A player in middle position limped, the cutoff seat limped, and then the button raised to 1,000. The button wasn't just anyone though, it was Chris "Jesus" Ferguson. Both players made the call against the seasoned professional.

The flop came down {J-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {6-Hearts} and the first player checked. The cutoff fired a bet of 1,400 and Ferguson smooth-called. The other player folded, leaving the action heads-up to the turn.

The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the cutoff bet 2,000 even. Ferguson again made the call.

After the river was the {10-Diamonds} and the cutoff led for another 2,000, Ferguson popped it up to 7,000. The cutoff made the call and was shown {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} from Ferguson's hole cards. The player mucked. Welcome to the Main Event, Jesus.

Ferguson - 44,000
