"It seemed odd when Jerry Yang started praying aloud at the final table of the World Series of Poker's Main Event. Poker players don't normally ask for divine intervention while playing a game often associated with the devil.
At first, I was incredulous. I am a God-fearing man, and I'm not afraid to admit that I believe in the power of prayer, but asking for help from the Big Guy during a poker hand? That's a bit much, given my experience watching people pray on the battlefields of Iraq.
I was a little bit insulted, and actually quite put off. I found myself cheering against this 'ordained' would-be-champion. But all that changed once Yang spoke after winning Main Event.
The guy seems honest. "
