personally this is what i think,
i think that full tilt poker struck up a deal with mr ferguson and paid him enough to tell a lie about this challenge.

i think full tilt poker made this up to get more customers as they can to full tilt to boost there player database, because i dont see no proof of this accomplishment, in fact ive never seen chris play on this site, im not saying he hasnt played on here but i find it strange that i havent seen any video sources to proove he did this.

if anyone can point me to any videos of this accomplishment then i would be very greatful as c ferguson is my favourite pro.

There are videos on youtube people playing against him on Full tilt,there is a video in the full tilt academy where he is playing $25.000 HU match.
and i have watched him play at the cash tables.
you should also read a bit about his challange to give you some idea about his play,and when he did the challange,and how.
the info are right on this site so you don´t have to look hard.
have a nice day:-)

Do you realize how many hours of video it would take to actually "prove" this? It wasn't exactly done overnight, that's the whole point of the challenge. As far as evidence goes, I think you'll probably have to rely on various random screenshots, hand histories and possibly videos from people who played with him during the challenge, as well as some posts here and on other forums from back when the challenge took place and people were following it.

lol I was going to say the same thing do you know how many hours would be in the videos? Are you willing to be online watching videos for months on out to even finish it? A site can't lie.. its like false advertisment.. usually people do something and they get paid to advertise it. Like that hot dumb Jessica Simpson. She had that pimple **** on her face and finally got rid of it with whatever and one thing she took was that cream. So later on in life that cream wants to make a advertisement thing on tv and they ask her to do it for money.. when people see it they just say (oh thats just another place paying people to say this) well it ends up being true that she did use it!

i've made 83 cents into over 300$ if you can make 10k out of 300$,then you can definately complete the challenge.

So i'm gonna say what everyone's been thinking

how much did you lose?

ive actually turned 0-1800 on FTP in TWO WEEKS.... But that's because i had my first big break in the PPA 10K freeroll where i placed 4th and received 400.00. Then from there I jumped the gun and played a 69+6 45 Man MTT and also received a 4th in that as well which boosted my BR to about 800. Then i played MTT's and lost some money back.until i placed 5th in a 10+1 15K Rebuy Tourney and cashed for about 1200. At that point I was up to almost 2K. I then withdrew 1K. And then ended up losing the rest playing 24+2 MTT's/Guarantees/SNG's........Went on a horrible losing streak.....I guess FTP didn't like the fact that I actually won...since then i've depo'd 50 bucks....and have been playing up and down with that until recently where I just lost it. But to cut a long story short....I believe its possible....I almost did it..If I had stuck to proper BRM I believe that i could have accompolished the Ferguson Challenge.But I didn't, and the Beats on this site are just plain awful.

I turned 50FTP into $100 in the past month and a half (Won a sat. into the DD and won $3, grinding from there and added the $50 from the take 2 challenge.. about $3 in rakeback too). There's enough free money to be found that it shouldn't be that hard.

I built up to $40 grinding for months playing mainly freerolls. Then I blew it in one stupid druken night. I deposited $100 and blew that in a couple weeks. Deposited another $100 and now I'm up to $1100, after probably close to half a year. I take BRM very seriously now. I do take a few stabs (although not enough to destroy my BR) once in a long while beyond what I should play. But if that stab fails I punish myself for a long time slowly building up, bit by bit.

What exactly is this challenge? Can anyone provide a link?

Is that only a "challenge" or do you actually get a reward by accomplishing it?

There are far more players that turned $1000 into zero than zero into $1000. Hence, the word "challenge."
