Chris Ferguson: "Poker Is Just a Sideline with Me"
Chris Ferguson, 2000 WSOP winner. Unlike most of the WSOP winners poker he’s not crazy about poker. And he doesn’t think that it is his only true calling. He’s also fond of ballroom dancing: “I do all ballroom dances… the foxtrot, waltz, tango, mambo, but these days I mostly dance the West Coast swing, the latest form of swing dance”. Though I know another man who is simultaneously a poker player and a dancer. You know him: Mike Sexton.
