Poker Profiles: Chris Ferguson

Chris "Jesus" Ferguson keeps an impressive resume as a Poker professional. Add to that is his contribution to the team that brought Full Tilt Poker into reality. Full Tilt Poker is a Poker website that is currently controlling a bigger slice of the crowd in the scene. Based on his achievements, it is no longer surprising to find out that Ferguson actually holds a significant PhD in Computer Science from the University of California in Los Angeles. And boy, his intelligence has undeniable roots! His father teaches game theory also in the University of California. If that is not impressive enough, look at his playing profile when he decided to enter the professional Poker world in 1994.

Ferguson is best known for his witty moves and well-thought of types of play. He is truly a no nonsense player who treats Poker as a challenging mind game. Whenever he is on the Poker table, he would try to crack his opponent's game plan because it signals him what his next move would be. Ferguson's ticket to fame is when his intelligent moves actually garnered him a World Series of Poker win, happened in the tournament's 2000 edition. In the No Limit Hold'em finals where he was pitted against an equally talented Poker pro in the person of T.J. Cloutier, Ferguson showed what stuff he is really made of. Take note that the WSOP win is just one of the many he was able to snatch over the years from different Poker tournaments. Ferguson has succeeded in many Poker games and is continuously doing well enough.

One true sign of a real Poker champion is always sitting at the final table. Ferguson was able to do that and more. He almost always figured in the finals because the final table is his favorite place in the world. Ferguson cannot settle for anything less than the second rank as he was always working hard to beat every guy who gets in his way.

When he is not busy beating the bushes with skilled Poker players at biggie tournaments, you will most likely find Ferguson sitting with gamers from all over the world at the FullTiltPoker.com card room. While doing his homework for his baby website, he also surfs the net for any new information that could improve his Poker knowledge and in the process, his Poker skills. Ferguson obviously has this insatiable thirst for learning and it helped him greatly to reap jackpots after jackpots.

Anyway, Ferguson got the Jesus tag from many Poker enthusiasts who are very much entertained of the player's Jesus looks, complete with long hair and a full beard. This California native was born on April 11, 1963. Aside from Poker, ballroom dancing is something that keeps him interested. He also has this talent of cutting carrots, bananas, watermelons, pickles, and melons in half through a flick of a card. Impressive, huh?
