Ferguson Pulling the Strings
Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Chris Ferguson: 
/ 
Paul Sexton: 
/ 
After a completion from Michael Moore, Paul Sexton raised and Chris Ferguson three-bet. Moore released his hand but Sexton called and continued in calling on the following streets. Ferguson kept pushing, betting on fourth, fifth, and sixth. They both knuckled on the river and Ferguson showed just a pair of nines. It was, however, enough, and Sexton expressed frustration that he couldn't get there.
Ferguson is a commanding chip leader while Sexton was sent to a nub.
