Seat 3: Chris Ferguson (89,000)
Member of Team Full Tilt Poker
Chris Ferguson will enter the final table as the short stack with just 89,000 in chips, but he has the experience to be able to come back from the bottom of the barrel. With over $8.2 million in tournament earnings, Ferguson is 20th on the all-time money list. Above all of that, Ferguson won the 2000 World Series of Poker Main Event for $1.5 million.
Ferguson's Main Event win only accounts for 20% of his gold bracelet collection. He's won four other WSOP events: $2,500 Seven-Card Stud in 2000, $1,500 Omaha Hi-Lo Split Eight-or-Better in 2001, $2,000 1/2 Limit Hold'em, 1/2 Seven-Card Stud in 2003 and $2,000 Omaha Hi-Lo Split in 2003.
The man with the long hair, weathered leather jacket and famous cowboy hat has a tall mountain to climb in front of him, but if anyone can build from nothing, it's Ferguson. He once turned a starting bankroll of $0 into $10,000.
