From the initial appearance of the name, you would think Jerry is Korean or Chinese, but from what's been reported, he's actually Laotian. He currently lives in Temecula, CA. Looks like the man qualfied from Full Tilt given all the Full Tilt garb he was wearing in the end. So, this ends the 3 year reign of Pokerstars winners taking the title and the gold bracelet in Las Vegas at the Rio.
Jerry picked up $8 and a 1/4 million for his efforts besting 6357 other players who paid $10,000 grand for a chance at this final prize. Tuan Lam didn't do too bad walking away with $4,840,981 dollars in the end. Lam had a little bit more history in playing these events or at least winning high enough to be recorded on Cardplayer's "player results" pages. Before finishing 2nd, he took money placings at last year's WSOP and the year before. Looks like Lam likes this event & after this year, I see him coming until the day he dies.
Yang, on the other hand, never had any official wins on the professional poker circuit. He's a virtual unknown and didn't have the "Hollywood" resume that last year's winner Jamie Gold had. However, what was reported was that this man was incredibly gracious in his win thanking almost everyone in the end. It took Jerry over 16 hours to beat his opponents on the final table in this event that lasted over 11 days. Yang probably thought he earned his keep in all the poker he played over the past 2 weeks.
Well, this conclusion to this year's WSOP goes to show that ASIANS RULE on the professional poker circuit & that everyone will take them more seriously, even though they already did up to this impressive win. However, just like in the business world, Asians understand what it takes to rise to the top. Congratulations brother Jerry & brother Tuan! I'm not coming at you for a loan, but will walk in your footsteps impressed and honored to be your Asian brother. Cheers!
