Chris Ferguson doboara recordul absolut la numarul de cashuri WSOP la aceeasi editie: are 15 intrari in bani si la noapte va juca finala la $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship
Americanul Chris Ferguson, cvintuplu castigator de bratara WSOP si castigator al Main Event-ului din anul 2000, a doborat recordul de cashuri intr-o singura editie WSOP, el intrand deja de 15 ori in bani pana acum, unul din cashuri echivaland cu o masa finala. Mai mult decat atat, Chris va juca la noapte finala in evenimentul 72 – $10,000 Seven Card Stud Championship, avand al 2-lea stack – 853,000 fise cu 7 jucatori ramasi in concurs. Recordul precedent era detinut de 2 jucatori, Ismael Bojang in 2014 si Roland Israelashvili in 2016, ambii reusind cate 13 cashuri.
Din cele 15 cashuri, spuneam ca Ferguson a reusit o finala in $ 10,000 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo – Championship (Event #51), loc 4 si $150,929 si a fost aproape sa o bifeze si pe a doua, terminand al 12-lea in $ 10,000 Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo Championship (Event #48) pentru $22,396.
Exceptand performantele din poker, Chris Ferguson nu este o persoana indragita de toata lumea, intrucat el a fost considerat mult timp a fi autorul moral al falimentului Full Tilt. Dupa scandalul Full Tilt, Ferguson nu a mai jucat poker timp de 5 ani, revenind anul trecut la WSOP unde a reusit 10 intrari in bani.
Iata asadar situatia in evenimentul 72, finala in care este angrenat Chris Ferguson urmand sa reprezinte al 16-lea sau cash la aceasta editie WSOP:
