Back To Even
After picking up a pot, Chris Ferguson has pulled back into even in this match. The blinds are getting high, so both players will feel the pressure to pick up the pace.
Andy Bloch Takes the Chip Lead
Andy Bloch just showed down a pair of tens to take the pot and a very slight chip lead in this match. The blinds are now 5,000-10,000.
Tight Play
Both players have really buckled down during the first part of this second match. After making it here two times before and falling short of the championship, Chris Ferguson is going to play solid and tight in an attempt to even things up. As a result few hands have gone to a flop.
Note: Due to filming on the set, we are also once again without the benefit of an announcer.
Even Steven
Neither of these players is named Steven, although they are both even in chips. We're pretty sure there is a Steven somewhere in the room, however.
