Hand #1:
Lauria: (X) (X)
(X)Feguson: (X) (X)
(X)Ferguson bet every street, and Lauria called all the way down until seventh. He apparently missed everything, as he mucked to one final bet from Jesus. Lauria dropped a big chunk of his stack on that hand, and he was down to 350,000.
Hand #2:
Lauria: (X) (X)
(X)Ferguson: (X) (X)
(X)Lauria completed the bring-in for the full amount, and Ferguson called. On fourth street, Lauria check-called a bet. On fifth, Ferguson led out, and Lauria again called. Sixth street saw Lauria check and Ferguson check behind him.
"All right, I like you now. You're now my friend," said Lauria, thankful for the free card. Both men checked seventh street as well.
Ferguson said "Two pair," as he opened up his down cards:
. His sevens up were good enough to win him the pot, and knock Lauria down under 200,000.Lauria still has the right attitude though. He cut out the 40,000 that he started the day with, and pointed out that fact to the spectators. "I'm on a freeroll for $100K," he said again.
Ruthenberg also just ordered about 12 beers for his crowd as appreciation. Things should get even louder now.
Ruthenberg - 1,050,000
Chris Ferguson - 850,000
Bob Lauria - 600,000
With the action getting more intense here, a number of the other pros have dropped by to sweat Chris Ferguson. Standing just inside the rail across from Jesus are fellow Full Tilters Andy Bloch and Perry Friedman, along with Dutch Boyd

MUCKRuthenberg's two pair drew a roar of cheers from his German cheering section just over his shoulder. That pot marks the first scoop for any player in nearly an hour.
The biggest stirs have come whenever Sebastian Ruthenberg scoops a pot. Even if it's just the antes, Ruthenberg's cheering section waves flags, whistles, and applauds for their countryman. Ruthenberg is on the short stack currently, but with a little willpower from his fans and some good cards, thing could change quickly.
