Memories – not all of them pleasant – returned for some poker players at the World Series of Poker over the weekend when former Full Tilt Poker director Howard "The Professor" Lederer made his first appearance at a major poker event for some years.
 
Earlier in the week former fellow director Chris "Jesus" Ferguson also made an appearance, perhaps signalling the end of the duos voluntary absence from the poker scene following the FTP debacle five years ago.
