"Jesus" Doubles Again

[user38449]

Minutes after drawing near even in chips with chip-leader Andy Bloch, Chris Ferguson has doubled up again, crippling his heads-up opponent in this, the second match of the finals.

The hand saw Ferguson make it 100,000 to go from the button and Bloch made the call. Andy then open-shoved after the flop came {4-Spades}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Ferguson made the call, tabling a pocket pair of jacks; Bloch revealed the {6-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for an up and down straight draw.

An intriguing {6-Diamonds} fell on the turn, giving Bloch additional outs for trips or two pair, but the {9-Clubs} on the river cemented the hand for Ferguson, who now holds a dominating chip lead over his opponent.
