Default Chris Ferguson Chip Castle (Photo)...

I'm watching this year's NBC Heads Up Championship right now, and they just did a quick feature on Chris Ferguson. One of the things they mentioned was that he has never lost a "Chip Castle Contest." I didn't even know such a thing existed, but the photo they showed was pretty impressive.

I think I'll stack my chips like that at the WSOP this summer.

At the very least, I'll have to do something like this, a la Carlos Mortensen.

Sweet, eh?

I usually just go for Pyramid Power live, 100 chips makes a 1-2-3-4 quite nicely.

That guy does some wild things. I saw that he won a 2000 person free roll for $4.40. He'll play just to try and parlay that 4.40 into something else. I really like the guy.

I've heard that he is trying a new challenge of going from $0 to $20K, ala his $1 challenge a while ago.

I definately like the guy, he seems to be a down to earth kind hearted fellow....

Those chip stacks are insane! Definately awesome! I might have to try that!

He is a good guy. Extremely personable face to face - nothing like you would expect (from the bits you see on tv, I mean).

I'm not sure if this is the same thing, but when I met Clonie in 2004, right when Full Tilt was going live, she was telling me about him turning $1 into $10,000 or something like that. I think it's pretty cool that he is disclipined enough (and patient enough) to play those stackes just to show that it can be done. She told me he was playing 8 (or was it 12) micro-limit tables at a time. Gotta love that.

I'll give that podcast a listen.

He also mentions the 5% rule and says that he actually busted out with his first $1... but once he hit $15 in his account, he knew he wouldn't bust again.... and then he built it up to $20k. That's pretty impressive, you have to admit.
