History on the Line
Chris "Jesus" Ferguson currently owns three circuit championship gold rings and is the only player to own that many. Back when he won his second, Ferguson was the first player to have won two. Last November when he won this very same event, he was the first player to have won three. Now he's within sight of becoming the first player to win four! Ferguson currently has around 86,000 in chips -- about 30,000 below average.
Travis Erdman is another player who's quickly making a name for himself up here in the mountains. Erdman made the final table of this event in each of the last two years and now he's got a very good shot to make his third straight final table appearance. Erdman currently has around 200,000 in chips and unless something catastrophic happens, he'll likely achieve that milestone.
