It sure is a nice story to put on film. Just hope they do it with sound, can’t believe I spent two hours inside a movie theater watching “The Artist” and no one talked one the movie all that time. My wife went with me and she was almost sleeping, than she started joking with me because of the movie, saying: “Look what they are saying: bla,bla,bla,bla (in a scene where the main actor is becoming insane and there are a lot of mouths around him)”. I laugh inside so much I started crying, trying not to laugh out loud so I wouldn’t disturb the audience.

Jerry Yang is a good player but not a great one, Yang had won $8,250,000 for the 2007 main event victory and his live tournament winnings are $8,263,393... In my opinion he had a lucky tournament, great poker players win constant...
