 Chris Ferguson shook off his own personal monkey in the National Heads Up Championship this past weekend.
In what was his 3rd trip to the final match in the last 4 years of the event, Chris Ferguson finally took home the crown of Heads Up Champion! He and fellow Full Tilt Poker professional Andy Bloch battled it out in the best-out-of-3 final, where tensions mounted after each scored a victory on one another in the first 2 matches.
The final match would be decided by an essential coin-flip, as Chris Ferguson held pocket Jacks to Andy Bloch’s pair and a flush draw. All the money went in on the turn, and the river would give the man they call ‘Jesus’ a winning full house. The crowd exploded into a fury of cheers, and Ferguson was engulfed in hugs and congratulations from his fellow Full Tilt’ers, friends, and family.
The victory earned Chris Ferguson $500,000, a sweet NBC 2008 National Heads Up Championship trophy, and a $10,000 buyin to the WSOP Main Event.
(Andy Bloch walked away with $250,000 for his 2nd place finish, and Phil Ivey and Huck Seed finished 3rd and 4th for $125,000 each - great Poker News coverage this was!)
