In seat 4, with 8.45 million chips we have Jerry Yang.

As Pokerpages puts it:

Jerry Yang has, you guessed it, no prior major tournament cashes. The World Series of Poker, however, has a habit of valuting previously unheard of players instantly into the public mind. Given that this is his first appearance at any major final table, Jerry is assuredly excited to know that no matter what happens today he'll walk away with at least half a million dollars.

Cardplayer adds:

Jerry Yang is a 39-year-old psychologist and social worker from southern California. He holds a Masters Degree in health psychology. Yang was born in Laos. He is married and has six children. Yang started playing poker only two years ago. He won a seat into the main event via a satellite held at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, CA. His total investment in this event is $225. The socially-conscious Yang is determined to give something back to charity. He is pledging 10 percent of his winnings from this tournament to three different charities – the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Feed the Children, and the Ronald McDonald House.

So, here we have the average guy, who has never won anything big and satellited into the event for $225.

From this Pokernews update we learn:

A short-stacked Jerry Yang went all in with pocket eights and found himself up against {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}. The eights survived, and as the pot was pushed to Jerry, he smiled and looked over at his parents on the rail. His mom and dad are happy their son won, his mom glancing heavenward saying "Halleluljah!"

Jerry has two sons and five daughters. He lives in Los Angeles and works at a hospital. His parents live in Laos and this is their first visit to Las Vegas. Amazingly, they have 32 grandchildren!

Jerry's parents don't speak very much English but they will tell you "Son -- very good boy!"

Jerry Yang is hanging tough on the short stack. Best of luck to him.
