Ok, I know some of you thought it was me dressed as the Messiah of poker? Are you really accusing me of having such bad taste? Holy moly you are barking up the wrong tree and Zasko can confirm that. I am pretty satisfied now that the organizers of the PartyPoker.com Premier League haven\u2019t let Chris Ferguson<\/a> in through the back door.<\/p>\n

No really….<\/h3>\n

Jesus is in fact German online qualifier Michael Thoms and this picture shows him smiling very un-Jesus like (cannot possibly be Ferguson then). My chin hit the floor when I was shown proof that he really had qualified. Michael \u2018Jesus\u2019 Thoms is from near Frankfurt and will play in the play-off event starting Sunday. I called him straight away as being dressed like this cannot be good for your reputation.<\/p>\n

Michael what are you doing? This man should not be your hero \u2013 don\u2019t deliberately dress like him for Jesus\u2019 sake. It\u2019s a dangerous world out there. Somebody call security, somebody get this man a bodyguard!<\/p>\n

Rock On!<\/h3>\n

It turns out\u00a0 Michael didn\u2019t even think about the resemblance he has to Chris Ferguson<\/a> \u2013 he just loves heavy metal and it\u2019s just his style and he has no intention of changing it. All I can say is that he is going to put everybody on massive tilt so I fancy his chances of going through. This is going to freak everybody out I am sure. Michael could say \u2018I will take all your chips and eat all the fish – and I already have your previous bankroll!\u201d<\/p>\n

Good Luck Michael!<\/h3>\n

Michael is in a wheelchair after an accident ten years ago and is about to play the biggest tournament of his life! Good luck mate, you have qualified! We\u2019re in the entertainment business and your resemblance to Ferguson is going to make the play-offs a lot more entertaining. Just be careful people don\u2019t mistake you for Jesus or think you are me in disguise \u2013 they\u2019ll be shouting at you rather than paying homage!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
