Chris Ferguson Wins 2008 NBC HeadsUp Poker Championshipr

5/7/2008 1:44:28 PM

It definitely turned into a weekend of breakthrough performances by big name poker pros on the poker circuit. After Phil Ivey|s albatross-relieving win at the WPT LA Poker Classic that came after seven unsuccessful WPT final table appearances, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson took down the 2008 NBC National Heads-Up Poker Championship after finishing second two out of the three previous years.

To get the win, Ferguson had to play probably the toughest slate of any other competitior. He went up against John Juanda, Gavin Smith, Mike Matusow, Jonathan "FieryJustice" Little, Ivey and, finally, Andy Bloch for the championship match. Ferguson pockets $500,000 and exposure on a major network for the win.

At one point, when Ivey reached the final four, it looked like his hot streak was going to carry him to back-to-back wins just a couple of days after winning impressively at the LA Poker Classic. However, Ivey|s luck failed him against "Jesus," who, much like Ivey did a few days before, seemed destined to win this event after coming so close before.
