What if he would have been a Muslim and started praying to Allah for divine intervention, and had a picture of Osama Bin Laden as a card protector?

Comparing his kids to the worlds #1 terrorist is a new low, even for 2+2.

It's easy to bash someone who's done better than you. Whatever makes you feel better. I know Jerry, and I know he's truly humble and worthly of winning. He's not the best poker player in the world; but he played the absolute best within his abilities, given the table conditions.

A previous poster is right. If this was a frequent 2+2'er who frequently posts his encounters with hookers and drugs after a big win, everyone would be having multiple orgasms at how he 'pwnd' the WSOP ME.

Jerry is one of the most unoffensive people I have ever met in my life; I've played with him many times, and spoke with him in length before the ME this year.

Congrats, Jerry! Well deserved, and earned.

I'm not saying anything at all about his poker playing abilities. I thought he played very well.

What I'm saying is that it was offensive to me a sane human being that he was praying to "god" to win a poker hand in much the same way that others to their "god" for other events to occur.

I'm sure he's a great guy, but since religion is the biggest factor in creating the [censored] up world we live in, I am very offended when delusional people pray for things no matter how trivial those things may be.
