Played heads-up at Binion’s Horseshoe, Las Vegas, the final hand of the 2000 World Series of Poker.

Suits follow FlopTurnRiver’s account. Conjelco’s report calls Ferguson’s hand suited: then he had 29–31% before the flop, and from the turn on every number is the same. Ferguson’s raise and the blinds weren’t recorded, so the price of the call isn’t shown.
