Ferguson hit the poker scene with a bang in 2000 when he took out TJ Cloutier to win the Main Event and his first WSOP bracelet. Before winning this event, Chris was in UCLA for 18 years! He ended up receiving a PHD in computer science.

Since he has started playing in the WSOP events he has won 5 bracelets, made 25 final tables and cashed in 42 events, which is more then any other player. Another big accomplishment Chris Ferguson has had is when he won the National Heads Up Poker Championship.
