541552736_8dd18a6eedChris Ferguson was born April of 1963, in Los Angeles California. Although he’s been playing poker before reaching his double digits, Ferguson went on to UCLA, where he got his PH.D in computer science. He took that intelligence with him as he played poker in chat rooms all through college, and continued skillfully dominating when he played in tournaments during the mid ’90’s. Overall, Ferguson has won 5 World Series of Poker bracelets, and through tournament winnings, has pulled in more than 7 million dollars. Among those wins, Ferguson was also a large contributor in the launching of Full Tilt Poker, which is an online poker cardroom. It can be viewed from 2 domains: fulltiltpoker.com and fulltiltpoker.net. Ferguson is known for his ability to become unreadable during a match, and the nickname “Jesus” isn’t due to the fact that he plays poker divinely, but because he ‘resembles’ Jesus with his dark brown beard and long locks.
