Pokerpages.comWe're on the second break. Third level next. I don't think they will need a seventh level. If we have 1,900 a day, they shouldn't have any trouble getting under 600 each day. We've lost over 400 already. Freddy Deeb and Brett Jungblut are out.

anyone know how chris 'jesus" ferguson is doing

Jesus" Works a Miracle Log: The following hand caused a stir on the tournament floor:The button raised to $275, the small blind called, and Chris "Jesus" Ferguson reraised $1,000 more to go. The button came over the top for $3,500 more, forcing the small blind to fold, but when the action got back to Ferguson, he pushed all in for his last $4475. The button called. Ferguson showed A-A, and the button flipped up K-9. That's right, K-9. The flop was devastating for Ferguson when it came K-9-4 making the button two pair. There were two diamonds on board giving Ferguson, who held the ace of diamonds, a backdoor flush draw to go with two remaining aces, and 3 remaining fours that would give him the lead in the hand. The turn brought a non-diamond queen. Ferguson needed a 4, a Queen, or an ace on the river for the win. The river brought a 4. Ferguson hit his bigger two pair, and left his opponent on the short stack. The crowd "oohd and ahhhd" reveling in all the action.

After a raise and re-raise Chris Ferguson was all-in pre-flop - the pot is about $10K (see photo). His opponent, Stillwell (a NY player) has a much deeper ponders calling. Lots of drama with the TV cameras and large crowd. Claiming he has a poor hand, only King high, he eventually calls and shows K9x. Chris shows pocket Aces.The flop comes out 9 K 4 giving Stillwell top two pair.The turn is the Q :club:The river 4 , giving Chris Aces up and the pot.Chris is a rock the entire time, until the 4 , and gives a fist pump. He gets up shakes Stillwell's hand and smiles at the table.The next hand Stillwell goes all in pre-flop and is called by QT. Stillwell has a pair of Kings which holds up.[/url]

Considering the cardplayer chip count was updated at 3:55p and the pokerpages blog was updated at 3:07p, I'd trust the cardplayer account.

HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Date / Time: 2005-07-07 16:14:00 Title: The first bomb has been dropped Log: We have our first player being penalized for using the "F" word in the event so far. He will be forced to sit out for 10 minutes and goes only by the first name Hamid. I'm sure with stakes this high this won't be the last penalty we will see.

According to gutshot.com: Harry Demetriou got all his money in on a flop of 9 10 Q with pocket jacks. His opponent called with KJ. However the turn and river both brought nines, giving Harry a full house to double him up. He now has 11,000. Go Harry :-) :-)
