Default I was a few feet away from Chris Ferguson and..

I didn't ask him for a fn picture! 2 days ago my sister flew from Vegas to l.a.x. It was 8:30 pm at l.a.x when we met up. We were waiting to get the luggage from the luggage machine (sorry I dont know what its called). She tells me to look to my right and guess what, nonother than Chris "Jesus" Ferguson himself standing a few feet away from me waiting for his luggage! she tells me "yeah he was sitting a few rows back from me in the plane" (she is into poker as well so she recognized him)

He was wearing his classic black cowboy hat, black shirt like in the montecarlo millions I can't remember if it had a full tilt log or not. He looked exactly like on tv you couldn't miss him. I was shocked that nobody else was looking at him in that place full of people. I guess I was the only one with my sis (and dad after I told him who he was) that knew this is a famous poker player. That moment I realized i am a poker dork being star struck looking at a famous poker player.

So I tell my sis to go ask him if I could take a picture with him using her camera phone, but she refused. I asked her many times but she refused. I didn't want to ask him I didn't want to bother him he looked tired and I didn't want to be embarrassed incase he said no. It felt kinda embarrasing to do that im not the outgoing type to be doing something like that. I just didn't want to be embarrased infront all all those people if he said no, thats why I wanted to send my sis who has a better personality and gets along well with people i was sure he wouldn't say no.

He flew southwest which my dad said "he is kinda cheap," maybe he is just a humble guy but I guess you expect a guy with his money to fly in something classier.

Oh well that was my poker superstar sighting.

Andy Beal drives a old beater type car.


That's the difference between people with money and people without it.

I would have thought the difference was the money.

He can fly and shoot acid from his eyes, I understand.
