Jesus Heads-Up Champ

After finishing as runner-up in
2005 and 2006, Chris Ferguson finally
took down the 2008 NBC National Heads-Up
Poker Championship, winning a best
two-of-three finals against Andy Bloch.

Andy Bloch was the last-minute
substitute when comedian/actor Brad Garrett
was called back to work following the resolution
of the Hollywood writers' strike.

Ferguson collected $500,000 for the win
while Bloch took home $250,000 for his
second-place finish.
