Everyone who plays tournament poker here at Playground – especially during festivals – knows Mitcheal Ferguson (and his huge beard), and no one hopes to see him with a big stack… but with a recent double through
Alexandru Codau, he now has a few chips.
Before the hand, Andre Dries had managed to distribute his whole stack to the table, with Alexandru being the chief beneficiary. And with those chips, Alexandru chose to raise to 10K from utg, and when action folded around to Mitcheal in the bb, he shoved for 40,500. Alexandru made the call and the hands were exposed:
Mitcheal: 
Alexandru: 
The flop was great for the all-in player: 
and the turn and river 
gave him the full house – and a stack surpassing 90K to play with as the tournament has reduced to two tables.
