[farang0]

He was within $300 and then made a few bad calls and lost a few flips and now I think hes back around $8300 or something

[muxplust]

he's gonna go busto

[the_casino_kid]

hes about to make it

[SuperUberBob]

Did Jesus win a FT tourney. There's a huge jump around August 07.

[corsakh]

He has made it.

[Jiganti]

Probably the gayest thing I've ever seen.

come on. i think it's pretty cool. insane to grind freerolls for months and months just to win 6 bucks

[slystyle012]

Chris got 2nd in a 1$ donkamanent for like 100 bucks...not sure thats the big jump though.

[jmill2511]

I think it's pretty cool, he obviously doesn't care about money at this point, it's fun to challenge yourself.

[Fonzy4]

Currently 37 out of 101 in chips @ FTOPS #8

[LurchySoprano]

Ferguson got into FTOPS on a $4 super satellite, which put him in the $50 satellite and got him the seat to FTOPS #8.

[stetda]

currently 3rd out of 53 in FTOPS #8... wow!

[Persistence]

Um...guess I'll update again...though it's changing rapidly...currently 2nd out of 40. Fergie is going all the way on this one.

[imjoshsizemore]

$0 -> $10million

[demon102]

I think this is kool cuz he is proving a point to all the amature poker players out there, that u can go from a freerole to thousands of dollars. This is good for poker and I wouldnt be surprised if the owners of ftp came up with the idea themselves and figured they pay a pro to do it as a marketing idea.

Hotta mighty, now he has 213k, the chip lead by about 40k, with 30 left. Way to go Chris...ha.

Apparently Chris Ferguson told Jerry Yang not to tip the dealers after he won while he was cashing out and Yang tipped 0$.

[SuperUberBob]

Jesus busto in FTOPS

Prob had AAxx on at least one of those last two hands.

Chris Ferguson: he did pay the 1.8%

[Persistence]

Yeah, I believe I gave him the good ol' classic jinx. Ouch. Out in 20th. But hey, he is $815.48 richer--well, that is to say that's what he got for 20th, idk if he got in on a satellite or what.

[Abbaddabba]

The fact that it took him so long is a testament to how awful freerolls have become.

There was a time where party offered quite generous free rolls that ended up being worth about $2 in chip equity from the get go. Then about 1/4 of the field was blinded out, and the vast majority of the remaining people didnt give half a [censored].

It's the only reason i ever was able to make it to where i am.

Alright, figured I'd comment on the Chris Ferguson railbird chat. I was the one who was pretty much berating Chris for his handling of Jerry Yang and the tipping situation. Yang asked Ferguson for advice and Ferguson claimed Yang paid the whole 1.8% which is obviously untrue, that 1.8% was spread throughout the prize structure. Ferguson has a vendetta against Harrah's for their poor handling of the rake withheld in tourneys and the overall handling of the world series yet he screws the dealers out of money. Thank you Chris Ferguson.

p.s. For any of you who haven't figured it out yet I dealt the World Series this past year and was told of the rumor before my final paycheck. If no one had spread the rumor I probably would never have had an issue. Instead I pretty much want Chris Ferguson in a dark alley. Oh, and he got my chat banned for outing him during the tourney. Wee!

[Dave_K]

I worked at a restaurant once and we added 15% for tip on to large parties. One group didnt tip me extra.

Again dealers here begging for more money. Ban for making threats. I'm all for Chris on this. You deserve less, not more.

[farang0]

If he only won $800 from FTOPS how did he jump up to 13k last night?

I assume he also has lots of other money he uses to play for real. Probably set the challenge money aside to jump in a higher game.

WTF exactly do you think sitting on your ass, shuffling and pitching some cards, and doing a little bit of math is really worth. Give me a [censored] break. Handling the register at Jack in the Box is worth more than that [censored].

[Seattleallstar]

im tired of these damn dealers complaining about not making enough. Most of these dealers are degenerate gamblers themselves. Where are these damn dealers when they deal the card that costs you a ton of cash on the river, where are these dealers when you go busto. If you guys dont make enough tough beans, you chose to deal cards.

That's what i'd do too. He can't screw Harrah's so might as well screw the dealers and tell them to go complain to Harrah's about it. Then maybe Harrah's will change some policies when they have dealers getting stiffed on tips and complaining/quitting.

[stetda]

so from all the posts, looks like Jerry Yang tipped almost $150k and the dealers want more? it's not like they got stiffed right?

I am so sick of dealers being fat old men instead of hot asian teenage girls. You want a tip, well than at least try and be a Thai lady boy or something.

[early325]

ferguson finished third in the Turbo Hundo last night for a little over $2.5k

[Berky]
