Starting at the final table, Jerry had the second shortest stack and fought bravely to win the World's biggest poker tournament with a super agressive style of play in which he prayed each time his chips went into the pot. Winning the largest tournament netted Jerry $8.25 Million Dollars in a tense final where the winner admitted watching miracles happen in the tournament.
