The only problem was, there was a sheriff at the table, lacking a silver star perhaps, but owning 2.8 million in chips, and it was going to be hard to cause trouble in town with the sheriff packing that much ammo. We expected Cloutier to try the first move, but Abinsay beat him to the draw. Abinsay called immediately with A-Q, and Ferguson turned over pocket eights. His monstrous collection of 20 chip stacks was arranged neatly into two triangles, a smaller sitting on top of the larger. It evoked images of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Man fears time, but time fears the Pyramids, goes the old Arab proverb.
I think time would also fear Ferguson s stack. Cloutier grabbed a quick 63k with an all-in move that no one called, and almost before he had the chips in his stack, we had another empty chair.
