WSOP Champ Jerry Yang: A Refugee Poker Story

Тagi:  •    •    •    •  

Asian Week

Asian Week magazine ran a featured story on World Series of Poker Champion, Jerry Yang. The article suggests that the refugee life and the psychological imprint that left on Jerry and on runner-up Tuan Lam, also a refugee, has had a major effect on how they play poker. The excerpt of the article below makes a compelling case that early life events will have an influence on how someone plays poker.

Here is the Asian Week story:

It’s 4 a.m. in a marathon 16-hour session on the seventh day of the biggest poker tournament in the world. Jerry Yang, 39, from Temecula, Calif., is about to make a decision that could change his life. Sitting across Yang is Toronto’s Tuan Lam, 40, who has put on maximum pressure by going all-in for 22.2 million chips, thus putting his own tournament life at risk.
