Too bad God didn't want him to win. That must mean he's a bad person.

I agree with this post so much. I mean Tuan Lam is obviously a truly great guy. Jerry Yang does a southern baptist pitch and gives ten % to Mcdonalds with tax writeoff potential and blabs on about it on national TV, and claims to glorify god. Tuan Lam says nothing but he works his azz off for twenty years to provide for his family and gives away 500 grand to his family and hometown silently. what a terrible athiest buddhist scum.

I think you have everything mixed up. Anyways...

Please take your childish comments to another forum.

BTW, his win was for nearly 5 million bucks.

His timing kind of sucks though. The Canadian dollar is now just about on par with the US dollar.

A year or two ago and it would have been about 7 million Canadian.

Still, I think he'll take it.

Poor fella was crying on ESPN First Take when they talked about the "awful beat" he took.

Maybe it's just me, but the last thing I want to hear about if I were to finish runner-up in the Main Event is how I felt about the bustout hand and all that. The false sympathy shown by the crew on ESPN FT was a bit much.

-Article ends with him shopping around and falling in love with a 7k rolex watch, but then later deciding against it because it was too much.

Final sentence of the article: "Maybe after all these years, Tuan Lam hasn't changed so much. Every single dollar still matters."

This is a very Buddhist view. Assuming he is Buddhist himself, it's not so much that he's trying to save a buck, but instead rationalizing that buying an expensive watch might bring him a few moments of joy, but does not add to his hapiness in life and that he can use that money to help others, which will bring him more hapiness.

ESPN can go [censored] themselves. Any/Everytime I'm watching ESPN and they mention poker, the commentators laught it off. Specifically recently with the WSOP ME updates and when they advertise the upcoming WSOP episodes.
