I turned on the T.V. and happened to catch a couple hands of the World Series of Poker on ESPN. At the final table, Naseem Salem went all in on a decent but not great hand. The only player to call was Chris “Jesus” Ferguson. Ferguson has the nickname, “Jesus,” because he looks like Jesus (if Jesus was white and a cowboy). Anyway, Salem joked that Jesus should be kind to him, saying, “I’m Catholic.” Ferguson didn’t flinch. “Jesus” glared back at Salem through his sunglasses and replied in his characteristic monotone, “I’m not.”
...theological controversy at the poker table. Who knew?
