Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Just before the players hit their second break, a huge hand emerged between Chris Ferguson and Steven Albini. Ferguson completed with a ten and Albini defended his bring-in with a seven.

Ferguson immediately paired his ten and fired but Albini wasn't scared and called with two spades out.

Fifth street brought Albini a great blocker, the {10-Spades}, and he bet when Ferguson checked. Ferguson called and caught the {A-Clubs} on sixth. Both players checked and Ferguson led out on the river. Albini raised but Ferguson wasn't done yet. He cut out a three-bet and Albini didn't like to see that. However, he immediately knew that there was no way out for him.

"I can't fold, I call. I have queens full," Albini said, smelling that he might've ended up second. But Ferguson immediately informed him that his hand was good.

Chris Ferguson: {10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs} / {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{A-Clubs}
Steven Albini: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} / {7-Spades}{Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Hearts}

"I would've bet my last nickel that you were going to show me aces full," said Albini, who took over the pole position.
