2008 WSOP Diary, June 3: Second Event Continues, First Omaha Event Begins

When your nickname is Jesus, the comments about resurrection in the context of the rabbi/deity from Nazareth are obvious. Mr. Ferguson is actually more like his namesake in his ability to stubbornly get under the skin of people by simply not going away. As the contentious Event #2 continued, the bleary eyed competitors who were still reeling from an 18 hour marathon came back in an attempt to close out the tournament. Players were cut down pretty quickly initially, but Chris "Jesus" Ferguson managed to keep staving off elimination. Whether this gritty determination will be enough for him to actually win is another thing altogether, but at this moment you gotta admire the guy's tenaciousness.
