  Having faith in Jesus is one thing, but some folks take it to a ridiculous extreme. Just to clear up any confusion, we are talking about Chris "Jesus" Ferguson, not the one who walks on water and treats demons in a manner not unlike how a bouncer would behave toward a drunk who suddenly decided the bar was a "clothing optional" zone.



  "Jesus" Ferguson has often proved he can do some remarkable things with a deck of cards, including using them to cut up vegetables for his salad, but a dealer took things a bit farther than even Mr. Ferguson's rather prodigious abilities could handle. After winning a hand and taking an inventory of his chips, the dealer gave everyone their hole cards, but conspicuously forgot to deal Chris into the hand. In the past Ferguson has pulled off more than one miracle, but winning a hand without cards was even beyond his talents. The dealer apologized, and gave the flaccid excuse that he thought Jesus had expressed that he wanted to be dealt out of the hand.



  This may have been an honest mistake, but soon after the hand, the dealer did coyly slide a glass of water over to Chris, and winked while holding up a wine glass. Okay, that didn't happen, but it would have been interesting.



  "The Summer of George" jokes have been rampant to the point where even the staunchest Seinfeld fan was ready to beat the next person who uttered those words to death with their own iPod. Jason "George Costanza" Alexander had been playing some very good poker during the Main Event, but was eliminated today. The Summer of George is over and hopefully the jokes and quips by the folks in the room have gone away with him.



  While some big names like Daniel "Kid Poker" Negreanu and Chris Moneymaker found themselves as poker roadkill, some players with huge names to live up to are still hanging on. Todd and Pamela Brunson are still in the fray, and both doing relatively well. What makes this odd is their old man was knocked out on the first day. Either way, it is still possible for the Brunson gene pool to add another bracelet to the family trophy case.



  There were only two eliminations that got scary. Some nameless, faceless player was eliminated, presumably on a bad beat, and yelled "fu*k" so loud that the word resonated from one side of the room to another. Somebody that upset about losing should be kept away from sharp implements: he may be a danger to himself and others.



  Jon "Pearljammer" Turner was also eliminated today. He has never presented himself as anything but a gentleman, but anybody who takes the name of such a gloomy band may very well go "Jeremy" on us if things don't go his way.
