How is this possible?

Why didn't he just pray to jesus when the cash got low?

He very well could be he was the luckiest main event winner in history. I remember him having a huge family if I'm not mistaken so between that and playing some poker losing it up it seems logical.

he was on 5th st radio on there last show talking about it.... i didnt listen to it though

dont know how this one happened but it surprises me, most times you hear someone is broke it isn't a shocker. This guy seemed very genuine and didn't seem like the type to rip through that amt of cash

The year after he won I was playing in the opening event, which was the casino employees event. He was introduced before the first hand and made a little speech and then proceeded to go to every table and shake every players hand and thanked each of us for our service. It was a pretty nice thing to do. The very next hand I got after shaking his hand I busted out, and I believe we hadn't even gotten past the first rounds of blinds. I've busted out of WSOP events twice holding KK vs AA, that was one of those times.

Fuck Jerry Yang.

I just listened to about 10 minutes, he didn't say shit.
Talked about how maybe his brother died in a refugee camp and he almost did too and he is soooo thankful.
Rants about how he came on the radio as he feels he owes the community an explanation,
then tells the overly nice radio host him he can't really comment.

So I have no idea, probably giving too much away and his business.
This is his restaurant's yelp, some pretty bad reviews. He rebuts some, pretty funny stuff.

EDIT: at the end he blames everyone and their mother. His wife gives away too much, friends ask for too much, and BofA apparently held his money so he couldn't pay the taxes, but he is not going after them.
And somehow the refugee camp came back into the speech.

This isn't much of a surprise to me as I played a $120 buy-in at Ceasars last summer and he was playing it. He didn't cash in it.

Yang should have snapped up an online sponsorship instead of dissing them
