Jesus Rises Again, Briefly

Chris Ferguson got his last in with {a-Spades}{2-Spades} and found himself up against {5-Diamonds}{7-Spades}. The board ran out {2-Hearts}{8-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs}, securing Ferguson a double up to the grand sum of, um, just 900 chips.

So it was that Ferguson was still extremely short when he got his chips in again, this time with {a-}{q-}, and soon discovered that he was in some serious trouble from the start. His opponent was holding the dominating {a-Spades}{k-Spades} which made a flush to boot, and Ferguson was duly eliminated from the tournament.
