An interesting piece on the 2007 WSOP winner Jerry Yang. He started out his life in his refugee camp in Thailand, became a clinical psychologist in CA and then used his skills of reading people to win the tourney after only playing for 2 years!

Dude caught ridiculous cards, and got extremely lucky multiple times.

I am not saying he is bad, I just doubt he ever wins again.

No different than Darvin Moon (2009 runner up) who I have mopped the floor with at Wheeling Island. (and I am far from a great player)

When it comes to cards, all the skill in the world can't beat a streak of good luck

 

BUT it does make for a good story, and probably helps sell the book
