A Special Moment in Remembrance of Dr. Jerry Buss

There are times when I’m really proud to be a part of the World Series of Poker.

Tonight was one of those special moments.

 

Prior to the start of this evening’s Seven-Card Stud championship, a special tribute was held in honor of the late Dr. Jerry Buss, owner of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers.  Seven-Card Stud was Dr. Buss’s favorite poker game and he came close to winning a gold bracelet 22 years ago when this same event was held.  He took third place that year.

As a way to remembering Dr. Buss, the World Series of Poker held a seat for him at the start of the tournament.  Here’s a photo of Dr. Buss’s chips.

Fittingly, his seat is vacant.  That’s because no one can fill the place of our long-lost friend, Dr. Jerry Buss.  He is missed, but appropriately loved and remembered.
