Chris Ferguson, already a fairly big stack, just now knocked out another player to propel him into the chip lead on 15,500.
The luckless soon-to-be-bustee moved in with
on a 
flop, but Ferguson called him with just 
. The turn brought the 
and the river the 
, and with no flushes for his opponent, Ferguson took the pot.Tournament director Jack Effel arrived to take the seat card from the dealer. "Hold up," he said to the table, "I'll try to find you some more victims..."
Just now Trickett's stack took a bit of a denting, after he got as far as the turn of a
board. With almost 4,000 in the pot already, he bet out 1,425 from the under-the-gun position only to be met with a raise to 3,000 from his opponent.Trickett thought about it for an awfully long time. Eventually he piped up, "Show me your cards if I fold?" His giggling opponent, apparently having a marvellous time, agreed. Nevertheless Trickett disappeared back into the tank for some more minutes.
"Fifteen-seventy-five," the dealer reminded him.
"Gamble," advised his cheerful opponent.
Jeff Lisandro appeared to have gone to sleep.
Eventually Trickett folded. And duly, his opponent showed him the
for trips. Trickett triumphantly showed him his folded pocket aces, and is merely down to 4,000 instead of busto.
