Chris Jesus Ferguson escapes an early exit
First of all, Chris Ferguson seems like a pretty good Joe. I have dealt to him several times throughout the tourney. He never turns away a fan, never doesn't sign his autograph, and never won't take a pic with someone. For that, I can appreciate him. I have heard some rumors about a couple of things he MIGHT have said, as far as tipping the dealers go...but I will touch on that in my next post. For now, just want to fill you in on a hand that happened today.
The scene: Day 1A (the first 2000 players..to get whittled down to 650). It was fucking PACKED today. 200 tables in the room...all full, for ONE tourney. This is the first THIRD of the field. It was sheer chaos. Quite exhilerating to be a part of tho. For every player, there was at least one spectator! Unreal atmosphere....
Anyhow....back to CJF. I didn't deal the hand - it happened on the table behind me - and the details might be skewed a tad, but basically, it came to this...CJF had AA and some d00d with K9 (not even sure if it was suited or not). I am not sure of the actions that took place, the betting sequence, or any of the sort. About the only thing I am sure of is all the money went in after the flop.
K 9 4 flop. AA vs K9. Turn: blank. River: 4. CJF wins with Aces up.
From my understanding, CJF was shorter stacked and all in. The story and the hand itself, not THAT nuts. I mean, we've all seen it before. But the room went NUTS! I felt like a kid in a candy store just being present at this thing. Better yet...I was in the middle of it all, and not on the sidelines. It really is something any poker player should partake in, sometime during their life.
Oh yea...the first person to go bust did it in the first 5 minutes. There was a big applause from everyone...it was kinda cool.
