Chris Ferguson who is more commonly known to most people as “Jesus” due to his appearance is one of the best poker players in the world. As you can see from his career highlights he has already won five WSOP Bracelets, which is among the top out of all poker players. Chris is very easy to spot out in a large group and stands out amongst any other poker player. His long hair, cowboy hat, and sunglasses are all trademarks of the Chris Ferguson look which has become so famous over the years.

Ferguson was born in 1963 in LA and ever since he was a young boy he was playing poker with friends. He learned how to play poker way back in the fourth grade and since then has mastered all variations of poker. As a college student Ferguson would spend his weekends winning money in Las Vegas and then attending class throughout the week.

He got his nickname Jesus because of his long hair and beard which resembles Jesus himself. Ferguson is one of the most feared players too meet either in tournament play or heads up and has one of the stiffest poker faces out there. It’s impossible to get a tell from such a solid poker player and that’s one of the reasons he’s been so successful over the years.

Over Chris’s long poker career he has made money playing both live and on the internet and to this day continues to play both. He has made millions of dollars on the poker table and made a career out of it. He did have an amazing degree to fall back on if poker didn’t work, but poker not working for Ferguson was out of the question. From the date of writing this biography Ferguson has made a total of 25 final tables and 42 money finishes which are stellar stats to add to a wonderful career.

Ferguson had a large part in the making of online poker software and with his extensive computer background it’s clear why he was involved. Chris is a pioneer of poker and will be remembered by all poker players for years and years to come. If you’re young and looking for a poker role model there aren’t many players that are a better role model then Ferguson at the poker table. He has excellent poker etiquette, one of the smartest players in the circuit and has had a lot of success at the poker table. If you ask me it can’t get much better than this as a poker player and I would love to see the success in poker that Chris has.
