Ferguson was playing poker before age 10. In college he honed his skills on IRC playing poker for play money in chat rooms. In 1994, he began playing in tournaments in California and in 1995 entered his first World Series of Poker. Ferguson beat T. J. Cloutier at the main event of the 2000 WSOP to win the $1.5 million prize.
Ferguson is nicknamed "Jesus" because of his trademark long brown hair and beard. On television some interesting factlets about him have been revealed, including his presidency of a swing dancing club at UCLA as well as his ability to throw playing cards fast enough to cut through bananas, pickles, carrots, watermelons, and even melons.
He is part of the design team for Full Tilt Poker, an online poker website that opened in July 2004.
As of 2006, his total live tournament winnings exceed $5,700,000.
