Ferguson's Top Pair No Good

Chris Ferguson was in position for a heads-up flop of {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. After his opponent checked, Ferguson took his usual deliberate time to also check. The turn was the {7-Spades} and brought a bet of 1,600 from Ferguson's opponent. Ferguson maintained his stoic visage before calling.

The river came {9-Hearts}. Ferguson's opponent checked, then called a bet of 2,100. Ferguson opened {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for top pair; it was most certainly no good against his opponent's flopped set of jacks, {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Ferguson is down to 8,000 as a result.
