Level 9 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Chris Ferguson pushed his last chips to the middle on the {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Spades}{a-Clubs} board holding {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}. He had to hit because he was up against {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and he was behind.

The river turned out to be the {3-Clubs} and that meant that Ferguson was sent to the rail but he warned his table when he got up that he would be back in the tournament.

Late registration is still open until the start of level 10 at the end of the dinner break. Players are allowed to reenter once.
