Jerry Yang is holding up the bracelet after speaking to ESPN's Norman Chad and WSOP commissioner Jeffrey Pollack.

In everything that Yang said over the past 25 minutes, he is truly dedicated to helping others in any way possible. He previously mentioned that 10 percent of his winnings would go to charity and I believe that he will give even more than that when all is said and done.

He's a true altruist and as Ali Nejad said, "It couldn't happen to a nicer guy." Yang will do a great amount of good for the poker world and after listening to him speak, I think poker will have a fantastic ambassador.

Congrats, Jerry, on your victory. You arrived at the final table to win the title and from the first hand you showed you'd be aggressive all the way through. You deserve the title because you changed gears so well when it mattered. You deserve the glory because you dominated heads-up play and eliminated seven of the eight other competitors. Enjoy everything the title "World Champion" has to offer, and we'll see you back here in 2008.
