2007-11-19 16:31:02

The winner of five World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, Chris Ferguson is one of the biggest names in poker and he has proved why at a WSOP Circuit event in Lake Tahoe - taking home the main prize.

Ferguson led the main event at Harvey's Hotel & Casino after day two with a big chip lead.

He had 426,500 chips at the end of the day, while his nearest competitor Michael Banducci had just 158,800.

Ferguson was able to maintain his lead through the final day on Sunday and win the $203,649 prize.

The 44-year-old - nicknamed Jesus due to his long brown hair and beard - has won well over $5 million in his career from live tournaments.

He is one of only two players to have won more than one WSOP Circuit event before and he was also the winner of the 2000 WSOP main event.
