"“I have five kids.  We are a lower middle class family.  We work hard.  This is life changing money for us.”

How fitting that Hung Le, a Vietnamese immigrant now living in Dayton, Ohio won the latest World Series of Poker tournament on the Fourth of July.

Just as appropriate was Le winning a tournament known as “Crazy Eights.”

Le was the most unlikely WSOP champion for a number of reasons.

First, hard to believe, but he’d never entered a major tournament before, including a WSOP event.  This was his first attempt to play in the world’s most prestigious poker series.

Second, if Le had limited playing experience, he had even more limited personal finances.  A small business owner, Le operates a single store, which is a nail salon with his family, including five children.  Two of his children work at the nail salon.

Third, Le had utterly no concept of what playing at a WSOP final table was like.  He made baffling calls, which he later explained provided him with the only chance he had of winning the tournament.  He would later even admit that he was completely outclassed by his opponents and had to resort to extremely unorthodox measures.  In a sense, as crazy as this strategy was, it was also brilliant."
