Within five years, Chris made seven WSOP final tables and cashed in 12 events. He won his first bracelet in the $2.5K Seven-Card Stud event, before going on to win the 2000 WSOP Main Event bracelet and $1.5 million the same year. Known for his versatility, Chris won his next WSOP bracelet in 2001 in the $1,500 Omaha Hi/Lo Split event, followed by two further WSOP bracelets in 2003. The first of these was the $2K Omaha Hi/Lo Split event, followed by the $2K Limit Hold 'em & Seven-Card Stud event.

It may just be me, but I don't seem to hear that much about Chris anymore. I know his $10k challenge was pretty impressive, but I have not heard of him recently.
That's true, if it wasn't for the Full Tilt challenge, you wouldn't see him around
the post got me thinking.... did a quick look on Ferguson in the WSOP and found the Tournament of Champions You Vote page.... people still love him:
