Jeff Ferguson
Career Summary
Eighty-two tournaments came and went before Jeff Ferguson won one. That is the longest wait to a first win in the history of this league, and it is not close.
September 5th, 2025. Eight Deuce #49, fifteen runners. Five knockouts, five hours and nineteen minutes, and $455 in prize money for first. Ten years of Friday nights answered in a single evening. The second took thirteen months: #60 on October 9th, 2026, the last night of the regular season, closed out in a three-minute heads-up against Joe Johnson for $405.
What makes the record remarkable is how close he had been the entire time. Jeff has 11 runner-up finishes, tied for third-most in league history — three in Canterberry, four in Eight Deuce, two in the World Series of Parker, one at the Tournament of Champions, and one at the 2022 Annual, where second place paid $595, still the biggest single payday of his career.
The heads-up record tells the same story: thirteen appearances, two wins. Eleven times he has been one hand from a tournament and lost it.
He has 94 events, 20 cashes, 70 knockouts and $4,455 in career prize money. Jeff waited through eighty-two tournaments for a first win. These days the last hand is starting to go his way.
