But Yang came away the top money maker in Las Vegas when he won $8.25 million at the World Series of Poker.

Yang, a 39-year-old psychologist, only began playing poker two years ago and got his way into the tournament after winning a $225 satellite tournmanent at the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California.

Just looking at that stack of cash with Yang, above, makes me want to take up poker and retire from go-fish.
