After the disgraced Full Tilt Director Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson returned to the World Series of Poker after a prolonged absence from the game, Lee Davy, considers whether it’s time for the poker community to forgive the man who once played such a pivotal role in our growth.

Something remarkable happened this week. Chris ‘Jesus’ Ferguson walked into the Rio, played in a World Series of Poker (WSOP) event, and left without anyone hitting him.

I have read numerous op-eds on whether Howard Lederer or Chris Ferguson should be allowed to play poker again, and considering the vitriol in the comments sections, one would expect a barrage of baseball bats to the balls and showers of spit from the rails.
