That look on his face. He doesnt give one rats ass. Has to take balls to show your face there. This could get real interesting real quick.

I think at the very least, SOMEONE will get loud with him and make a scene, even if its more for that persons own motivations to get attention more than it being what Ferguson actually did. Thats my thoughts.

People get hurt over $20 every day, this man owes the poker world a lot more then $20... All it takes is one crazy poker player on uber tilt and broke to do something really stupid. Chris should just stay home.

Some yelling tho, yes.

Really didn't think he'd ever show again. Reckon he's been playing all these years and is still in reasonable card shape?

Presumably playing online, which would suggest he's in good shape compared to the typical US player who hasn't.

Lol at anyone saying they will punch him. No one is going to do ****.

Would expect the casino probably has a few extra security near him anyway incase anyone decides to start something.

howard played an event two years ago, or am i wrong ... as usual for poker-pros / twitter tough guys, nothing happened back then ... besides that, punching him in the face might give you 5 seconds of satisfaction, but a ban

I'm surprised he's come back without doing a single interview about what happened.

But on the other hand, should I be surprised he just turns up out of the blue? he does have form for it.

To be honest, I always felt a bit sorry for him, because I could imagine him not be driven by money, and caring a lot about his rep. But then I read about him taking a huge amount of money from FTP post black Friday, and then that pity changed to anger. He needs to answer some serious questions.

Seems odd to not even release a statement and then just start playing.

EZ life wit deh MILLION$$$ !!

Anyway, what would you do expect to happen ?
The guy is clean towards "justice", he comes to play some poker at Vegas and that's it.

No white knight will cut his head or make him eat his balls, he'll maybe collect a few nasty eyes on him or even a few bad words at worst, but beside that it will be "business as usual" for him.

Also, I really doubt he'll speak about FTP at any point. He just doesn't care, it's past and now it's present, enjoying the great life with stolen money.
