Are you kidding me? You win 8 million plus and you can't afford to pay 25k to buy into a tournament?

normal people dont spend 25 thousand dollars to play poker.

Who said anything about affording it?

Its called bankroll management. Welcome to Poker.

Would you rather lose $1250 dropping 10 satellite buyin attempts, or $25,000 when you bust after two hours of a direct buyin?

Perhaps he knows buying in for 25k is -EV for him?

Is it true that Jerry Yang is getting a boob reduction job?

If Jerry Yang is in a satellite, it's because it's in God's plan for him to be in it, and you are probably going to hell for questioning it. GG.

More power to him. Yang has done alot of good for alot of people with his winnings. I'm sure Sappy will buy in for the full $25k. To hell with the satellites!

Good for Jerry Yang for donating all the money like he promised. In many ways he is a feel good story.

Kudos to Jerry Yang for spreading donkey play. If people who learn poker from TV see that Jerry Yang can win the main event playing the way he did, it will be +EV for everybody else.

I doubt we will be seeing him on High Stakes Poker ever, or even the $50K HORSE event for that matter. But at least he seems to be a good person. Don't know if I could say the same for Jamie Gold!
