This article is a part of the Poker Bankroll Management series. For those who haven’t heard of the Chris Ferguson Challenge – here is a short summary of his project. The Poker Pro player Chris Ferguson started his own mission – turn 0$ into 10.000$. This project was an exercise in bankroll management – with clear rules for his buy in strategy. From the very beginning the project. In a poker tournament, players typically begin with the same number of chips. The winner is the player that eventually acquires all the chips in play. From freerolls and satellites to the big Sunday events, we have tournaments of every shape, size and format for you.

Poker 10k Challenge Game

Fall is in the air and the online poker fun is just getting started! During the month of October we're raising the stakes yet again as we present the $10,000 ClubWPT™ VIP Challenge. This series of events will feature not just one, but TWO daily satellites, all leading up to the Main Event taking place on Sunday, November 1, 2020.

That's right! 60 qualifying tournaments, with ten (10) seats awarded in each (600 seats total), will give you plenty of chances to secure your seat for the $10,000 ClubWPT™ VIP Challenge Main Event.

But here's an added bonus: If you don't happen to qualify for a seat in one of the twice daily satellites, you can still buy in direct to the Main Event for 10,000 TPs.
Correct! Even if you don't secure a seat in one of the many qualifying satellites, there's a backdoor way into the Main Event if your TP bankroll allows it.

Whether you win your seat by participating in any of the two qualifiers running daily – 5:15 PM ET and 8:15 PM ET – or using some of your TP bankroll, the $10,000 ClubWPT™ VIP Challenge is one event you cannot afford to miss out on!

With 600 qualifier seats awarded – 20 each day – these satellites are the ideal primer to sharpen your game leading up to the coveted $10,000 ClubWPT™ VIP Challenge Main Event on Sunday, Nov 1, 2020 – An event that pays out a whopping $2,500 to first place!

Poker 10k Challenge Games

This message is to say my 10K poker challenge is officially over (months ago). In my last post (February 2011) I said I would take a 2 weak break, but after that I went broke. Worst thing to happen to a poker player... But In late May 2011 after winning a few bucks in freerolls I was convicted to follow bankroll management rules hard and start playing! I started and in June and July I had a sick upswing and those few bucks transformed into 6K in just 2 month and a half. Than I had a downswing from July to August and I went back from 6K to 4K. After that I made a new account on Everest Poker in September. From September to October, I made another 6K under the nickname 'lamprey' and the challenge was over!! My liquid profit on my old account was 1761$ (see graph below) plus 6000$ (at 1000 games on my new account). The money I made from rakeback was over 4k and that's how I finished my challenge big way :P (1761$+6000$+4000$= 11761$)!

Poker 10k Challenge 2019

Poker 10k Challenge 2020

From November to now I'm kinda break even just getting money from the rakeback.
Nowadays I still play on Everest Poker under the nickname 'lamprey' but I play more on Pokerstars. I started playing at the begin of this year on Pokerstars. I never thought I would be where I am today, I improved my game a lot and I think I will be even higher in a short period of time.
My first poker game was in 13 July 2009 on network Ongame (Bwin), and I went from amateur to professional 2 years later, in Juin 2011 in Everest Poker. A lot of work and study made me where I am today. Poker players should never stop to improve their games even if they think they are the best. That's my philosophy.
