Praise Jesus! Fergie Hangs On 2 years ago

Chris Ferguson was down to his last $40k or so but managed to get in with the best of it and survive to double up. Jonathan Little set him all-in before the flop and Jesus made the call with A

. Little would need to improve with 9

but the board of K

failed to do it for him. Little picked up a flush draw on the turn to go with his pair draws but was unable to make it there on the river. Little is down to $240,000 to Ferguson's $80,000.

Little in Command 2 years ago

FieryJustice.

Jonathan Little has added to his early lead and seems to be controlling the action in his match with Chris Ferguson. Jesus picked up a small pot a moment ago though, to regain at least a bit of ground. They both checked a flop of A-T-4 with two spades. The turn was the 3

and Ferguson bet out. Little made the call and the 6

hit the river. Two more checks and Fergie showed a ten for second pair. it was good and he raked the pot. It's still about $220,000 to $100,000 in favor of Little.
