Ferguson Triples Up

Nível 9 : 300/600, 0 ante

The player under-the-gun made it two-bets, Chris Ferguson called in the small blind and the big blind then made it three bets. The under-the-gun player then made it four-bets, Ferguson called and the big blind capped it at five bets with both players calling.

Ferguson drew two and the other players each drew one. The under-the-gun player then bet with Ferguson and the big blind calling.

On the second draw, Ferguson opted for two cards again with the others each drawing one and the action checked around.

On the third and final draw each player drew one with Ferguson betting all-in for his last 1,200 with the big blind being the only caller.

Ferguson revealed and despite the last minute registration has quickly tripled the 7,500 starting stack.
