Jennifer Harman Rides to Second in the WSOP Europe's HORSE Event

Congratulations to Team Full Tilt's Jennifer Harman who claimed second place in the World Series of Poker Europe's £2,500 HORSE Event (WSOPE).

Harman worked her way through a star-studded field to reach the final table, where she faced one of the toughest final tables in recent WSOP history, including fellow Team Full Tilt member Chris Ferguson, Joe Beevers, and Alex Kravchenko, who finished fourth at the WSOP Main Event in July.

Harman's impressive performance in the HORSE event earned her £40,688 ($82,527) and once again showed why she is widely considered to be one of the world's top poker players.

Chris Ferguson Finishes Fourth at the WSOP Europe's HORSE Event

Congratulations to Team Full Tilt's Chris Ferguson who played his way to fourth place at the World Series of Poker Europe's inaugural HORSE event.

Ferguson battled his way back from a short stack at the start of the final table, taking home more than £21,650 ($42,000) for his strong performance on the WSOPE.

Chris Ferguson's $0 to $10,000 Challenge

Not everyone has big bucks to start their poker playing career. But with the right mixture of responsibility and discipline you can turn a few dollars into thousands. Starting with nothing but a Full Tilt Poker account, Chris played in Freerolls until he earned enough to graduate to games with a real-money buy-in. From there, Chris built up his bankroll by adhering to this strict set of guidelines:
  • He never buys into a cash game or a Sit & Go with more than 5 percent of his total bankroll (there is an exception for the lowest limits: he is allowed to buy into any game with a buy-in of $2.50 or less).
  • He doesn't buy into a multi-table tournament for more than 2 percent of his total bankroll, but he's allowed to buy into any multi-table tournament that costs $1.
  • If at any time during a No-Limit or Pot-Limit cash-game session the money on the table represents more than 10 percent of his total bankroll, he must leave the game when the blinds reach him.
In fact, it took more than 7 months of steady play until he got his bankroll to stabilize at about $6.50. Then, Chris made a major breakthrough, turning a $1 tournament buy-in into to $104 in prize money by finishing second in a 683-person tournament. Even with that huge bankroll boost, it still took Chris 9 more months of hard work to reach his goal and break the $10,000 dollar mark...
