Ferguson Doubles With Aces
Level 9
: 300/600, 100 ante
When we arrived at the table, there was a huge pile of chips in the middle and one player was standing up to make his exit. The board read 
and one player was showing while the other held 
for quads.
The next hand, Chris Ferguson raised to 1,200 from under the gun, the winner of the previous pot three-bet to 3,000 from the cutoff, Ferguson jammed for 9,975, and his opponent called to put him at risk.
Ferguson: 
Opponent: 
Ferguson's opponent found himself on the unfortunate end of the ultimate preflop cooler and needed help from the deck to win. The board ran out 
and Ferguson took the pot to double up.
