Jesus Rises... From His Seat (15th Place, £6,980)

The only ballroom-dancing, vegetable-chopping, Lemmy-doppleganging man in poker is finally out after a performance so plucky it would have made Rocky Balboa look like a quitter. Despite successfully nurturing his short stack for the last couple of levels, Chris Ferguson made his last stand with {Q-Diamonds}

, pushing all in from UTG+1 for a total of 11,400.

With less than four big blinds and some big stacks behind, it was always going to be difficult to get his push through, especially when Frazer picked up {A-Diamonds}

in the small blind. Naturally, he made the call.

The {A-Hearts}

in the window looked ominous for Ferguson, but the bullet was accompanied by {10-Hearts}

to complete the flop and offer more than a glimmer of hope. Although the {7-Diamonds}

and

teased a straight, it was ultimately close but no cigar, and the 2000 WSOP Main Event Champion was finally gone.

As he exited, he received a much deserved round of applause for his 15th place finish.
