In 1994 Chris made the decision to really apply himself and his knowledge of game theory to poker, concentrating only on tournament play. He started off playing in the small tournaments in and around LA. Not wanting to play over his bankroll, he didn't enter the WSOP till 1995.
In late 2006 Chris wanted to try out an experiment. With only a blank balanced Full Tilt Poker account Chris set a goal to build up a bankroll of $10'000. He was only eligible to play Freerolls at the beginning. He did make it, it took him but a year to complete his task. In September 2007 Chris Ferguson had a balance of $10'000 in his account. Before he started this project he had stated that upon reaching $10k he would donate the money to Save the Children Foundation, which he also did.
