WSOP Champ to Sponsor a Tournament

The reigning World Series of Poker champion, Jerry Yang, has not been in the press very much since his win, but he is putting his name on a poker tournament to be held about a week before the start of the next WSOP, where Jerry will have to defend his title. The event, called Jerry Yang No Limit Holdem Tournament Series, will last for five days at the Lake Elsinore Hotel and Casino. Jerry picked that spot because of the history he has with the card room. It was here that Jerry busted out of a tournament, which pushed him to play in another tournament at the Pechanga Resort & Casino the same day. It was the second tournament that won him his satellite into the World Series of Poker.
