Jesus Lives Up to His Name at World Series of Poker
He may not be walking on water but Chris "jesus" Ferguson was turning miracles in the World Series in Vegas this week.

In two separate hands, Ferguson turned a short stack into enough chips to continue marching forward.

In one hand, despite holding pocket kings, Ferguson's opponent had 2 pairs after the flop - but the river turned a second 4 on the table giving Ferguson the higher 2-pairs doubling his 40,000 all-in to 84,000 chips.
"I've been all-in with the worst hand and won both times," said Ferguson, who won the World Series main event in 2000. "I'm willing to get my money in on a coin flip." Both times, he acknowledged, his odds were worse than 50-50.

This week has seen a number of well-known players succumb to the huge event, including Men Nguyen and Barry Greenstein. The main event begins August 10.
