Biography:
Chris "Jesus" Ferguson is one of the most recognizable faces in poker. He has a unique look with his long hair, beard, sunglasses, and hat. He obviously got his nickname, "Jesus", because of these looks. I do not know Chris personally, but I have heard that he is one of the nicest and most popular players on the circuit. The next time that I see him, I will have to introduce myself. I don't remember where I heard it, but he likes it when people introduce themselves to him because he is usually not one to approach people.
Chris lives in Pacific Palisades, California. He does not travel the circuit as much as he used to. He attends the larger, bigger buy-in events and focuses on other interests including day trading and swing dancing. I think the two are an ironic combination: the individual competition of poker with huge amounts of concentration, and swing dancing in which you must rely on a partner and just let go of your inhibitions.
