Doug Polk plans to transform a $100 bankroll into $10,000 a decade after Chris Ferguson achieved a similar feat in the days when the Full Tilt pros chatted to the community instead of robbing them.

Is the modern poker game too tough for people to crack?

Feedback from numerous top players would suggest an answer in the affirmative, but then the much maligned Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson emerged from his six-year slumber to cash 10-times in the 47th Annual World Series of Poker (WSOP). It was a performance worthy of an 11th place finish on the WSOP Player of the Year (POY) Leaderboard. The former Full Tilt carrot slicer must have wondered what all the fuss was about?

Most people who saw Ferguson sat in one of those WSOP competitions most likely wanted to cause him some grievous bodily harm, but I think he inspired a certain Doug “WCGRider” Polk. On Sunday, the two-time WSOP bracelet winner and high-stakes, online cash game player began his journey to turn $100 into $10,000 while streaming the entirety of his action on Twitch.
