Event 33 - Final Table - Three Handed...For Now!
1 year ago
The players are on a twenty minute break to re-gather their energy.
The event has continued three handed, although one of our competitors has become dangerously short and faces elimination soon unless he can turn things round.
Here's the low-down on the climax to the race for this WSOP Stud bracelet.
The Jesus Bob Face Off
Jesus has taken two big pots off Bob Lauria, both times making two pair, the second time with his two pair showing and Bob presumably chasing a low and straight draw but mucking to a single bet from Chris on the river.
Bob Lauria was left very short on $50,000 and although he doubled through twice soon after this, he is on life support at the moment and is very likely to be our next eliminee.
Other than these pots, much of the last hour has consisted of pot after pot being split, the players quietly and methodically stacking up their chips, whilst plotting a way to get through the defences of their opposition.
Here are the current chip counts, courtesy of worldseriesofpoker.com.
| Chris Ferguson | $1,270,000 |
| Sebastian Ruthenberg | $1,150,000 |
| Bob Lauria | $250,000 |
- Average Stack: $870,000

Event 33 - Final Table - Jesus Loves You, Stud!
1 year ago
The bracelet is tantalisingly close now, with Chris Ferguson leading the charge for glory, much to the delight of his many fans on the rail.
Here's the breakdown from the felt.
Annie - Forget Your Gun?
The short-stacked Annie Duke committed all her remaining chips holding pocket Tens in the hole, but when she picked up action from Chris Ferguson, it turned out she had brought a knife to a gun fight as he flipped a couple of cowboys lurking in his down cards.
Needing help the dealer failed to oblige, meaning Ferguson grabs another scalp and Annie Duke is OUT, eliminated in 5th place, winning $73,602. A great performance in a tough field from Annie.
Luske Runs Out
![]()
Annie's Got Thinner, Her Wallet's Got Fatter!
Marcel Luske has been allin multiple times today and the latest time he ran into Bob Lauria's A-2-3 which made a low and a pair of sevens by seventh street.
Marcel could only table a pair of fives and with all his chips in the pot, Bob had done the job and Marcel Luske is OUT, eliminated in 4th spot, winning $95,069.
Pokerlistings.com passes out congratulations on to the flying dutchman for going so close!
Here are the chips counts 3 handed, showing Ferguson has the advantage at present.
| Chris Ferguson | $1,075,000 |
| Bob Lauria | $900,000 |
| Sebastian Ruthenberg | $510,000 |
