Heads-Up Poker Championship Witnesses 2nd Second-Coming of Jesus

After three grueling days of match play against the likes of Freddy Deeb, Chip Reese, Josh Arieh, James McManus, and Sean Sheikhan, Chris "Jesus" Ferguson again fell just one game short of winning NBC’s Heads-Up Poker Championship. Runner-up to Phil Hellmuth in last year’s competition, Ferguson lost two out of three games to Ted Forrest in this year’s final championship match. With a specially-constructed grandstand full of excited poker fans cheering them on at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Forrest and Ferguson traded blows into the wee hours of the morning.

Useful poker information:

• FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
• OUT - [1] A card that will improve your hand, often substantially. A hand with many OUTS is preferable to a hand with only 1 or 2. [2] Folded, ineligible to bet or win this hand. "I'm out" is often a synonym for "I fold".
• FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
• TRIPS - Three of a kind. In Hold'em the term SET is used when two of the three cards are hole cards.
• SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
• TO GO - The current betting level, as in "$20 to go" meaning every player must contribute $20 (total) or drop. A $10 raise would then make the pot "$30 to go".
