Chris Ferguson $10K Challenge
In 2006, Chris challenged himself to turn $0 into $10K, starting with nothing but a Full Tilt Poker account. Beginning with freerolls, he used strict bankroll management rules that he'd set for himself and dedicated over 18 months of play to reach the $10K goal, which he donated to the Save the Children Foundation.
