No Show from Ferguson

In a raised pot, Zach Hyman checked a flop of {2-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {4-Spades} to Chris Ferguson. Ferguson, in his customary way, stared at the board and made no motion for twenty seconds before betting 50,000. Hyman called to a turn {3-Spades} that both players checked. The river was the {A-Clubs}. Hyman checked a third time, prompting Ferguson to bet 100,000.

"You hit the ace?" Hyman asked. Ferguson didn't move a muscle or make any response to the question. Hyman began talking to himself, trying to come up with hands that Ferguson might have. After several minutes in the tank, he reluctantly folded.

"Show me one time," he said to Ferguson. "Please?" A bunch of railbirds laughed, knowing full well that Ferguson would not show. "You could just verbally tell me," pleaded Hyman.

"What good would that do?" asked Cornel Andrew Cimpan.
