"Skill has nothing to do with poker, its all gambling" cry the folks who keep bringing the law to our home games and limiting our access to games on the internet. Of course people who read here and other poker blogs would have a slightly different opinion. The game is based on percentages, chip stack sizes, did he/she just lose a big hand, and when did the waitress last come back here?

So many different variables go into the game of poker that many people don't see while watching the hole cards on ESPN or The Game Show Network's "High Stakes Poker". One thing is consistent though, better players do eventually rise to the top over and over again. Enter Chris "Jesus" Ferguson who recently rolled his way thru a field of 142 players at a World Series of Poker circuit event at Harvey's Lake Tahoe. He banked another $203,000 to go along with his other two circuit event wins, and five WSOP bracelets.

But he had to get lucky at the end to nail down his third WSOP circuit event win, as he had to crack Aces with TT to defeat Dustin Fox heads up.

Poker is all luck of course, making Ferguson just a very lucky guy... over the last several years playing in these events (the use of internet sarcasm is a touchy one). Congrats to Chris on his win!
