Focus on: Jerry Yang

If you love a good story of rags to riches, then you’ll love Jerry Yang. He was born in 1967 in Laos, in a poor family and a dangerous country, which allowed him to remain humble even after he became WSOP Main Event champion in 2007. Yang’s nickname at the poker table is The Shadow.

Proving that it’s never too late to learn poker, Yang only started to play poker in 2005, when he was 37 years old. Two years later he won the $225 satellite in Temecula and he entered in the WSOP 2007. Before the WSOP he managed to finish in the money at four different events from California. When he reached the final table he was 8th in the chip count but he managed to get ahead and keep his chip lead once he got it. As he kept increasing his chip lead he also kept kicking out of the competition player after player. The final table took 12 hours and Yang managed to take home $8.25 million as the winner, with Tuan Lam as the runner up. Most of the wins that he had until 2009 were from that one WSOP event.

When he described his strategy at the tournament Yang explained that he analyzed his opponents and whenever he sensed weakness he pushed them as hard as he could. His strategy worked and the won his first and only bracelet so far at that World Series.

In 2010 Jerry won $75,000 after he finished in 5th place at the NBC Heads-Up Championship. At WSOP 2010 he finished in 195th place, taking home $3,114 in No-Limit Hold’em $1,500.
