Women’s Poker Yak

JERRY YANG is a “Champion” in life as well as the 2007 World Series of Poker Champion.  This quiet soft-spoken man remembers his humble beginnings.  He made a pledge of nearly $1,000,000 to charity and was true to his word.

After living in a Laos refugee camp for nearly five years Jerry and his family made their way out at the tender age of seven.   The ‘Feed The Children’ organization kept Jerry and his family from starvation.  His incredible podcast pulls at all of our hearts.

YANG has the eyes of a puppy, soft and kind. His face will join others that line the Rafters of Champions in the 2nd largest prize pool at the World Series of Poker.

JERRY gives hope to all professional poker players who can’t seem to achieve their most coveted title of WSOP Champion. “It’s just a matter of time. So don’t give up … If someone like me, who came from nowhere can win? I’m pretty sure [the professionals] have a greater chance than me.”  www.JerryYangPoker.com
