Bonsack Caught Bluffing; Eliminated in 3rd Place

[user38449]

Fireworks just went off inside the Harveys Poker Room as Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson has just eliminated Mark Bonsack from the main event in dramatic fashion; here's how it all went down:

On a flop of {7-Hearts}

, Bonsack passed the first action to Ferguson, who made it 40,000 to go; Bonsack made the call. Another jack fell on the turn and again, Bonsack checked to Ferguson, who fired out an 80,000 bet. Wasting very little time, Bonsack pushed his entire stack across the betting line, moving all in over the top of Ferguson's bet.

Chris, as usual, took his time before making the call and turned over the {Q-Hearts}

- an absolute monster hand; Bonsack shook his head and smiled, knowing he'd been caught bluffing, as he revealed the {A-Spades}

. Not a card in the deck could save Bonsack and he would settle for 3rd place prize money, worth $82,042.

Bonsack's elimination sets up a very intriguing heads-up match, featuring Tahoe native and local favorite Dustin Fox against WSOP Champion and one of poker's living legends, Chris 'Jesus' Ferguson.
