Chris Ferguson Moves on With Win at PSIT 3'Jesus' Needed at Least Five, Got 10; Eli Elezra Also Should Move On |
|
Chris Ferguson came into his last Poker Superstars Invitational 3 elimination match right up against the second-round bubble with 16 points. He probably needed at least third and the five points that comes with it in order to advance into the second round of 16 players. He not only finished third, but went on to win his table, ensuring that he'll move on.
Jennifer Harman could've used the extra three points she lost by finishing second and earning seven. Those three points may be the difference-maker. Depending on how the last three elimination matches turned out, she might be one of the eight players not to advance. Her 19 points may simply not be enough.
By the way, Ferguson won the tournament holding 9
2 against Harman's J6
. A black two on the flop ended the match.
Erick Lindgren (30 pts) and Johnny Chan (21 pts) came into their last match with their spots in the second round locked-up, but Eli Elezra had to finish third or better to ensure that he moved on. He did just that, and his 24 points will probably be good enough to advance.
Chan went out fifth and Lindgren was next, at fourth.
Greg Raymer was knocked out first, and finished the PSIT 3 with a pitiful 10 points, but he's not doing as bad as Ted Forrest, who comes to his last match holding three points. His match against Card Player Magazine CEO Jeff Shulman, Jennifer Tilly, Carlos Mortensen, Mike Matusow and Mike Sexton is scheduled to be shown on FSN next Sunday (July 9). PSIT 3 is aired every Sunday at 8 p.m. local time on FSN.
