Longtime Las Vegas gambling veteran wins his first WSOP title.
Las
Vegas, NV - There aren't many things that Jack 'Action' Zwerner hasn't seen and
done in the world of gambling. He's the founder of the biggest bingo enterprise
in America. He's worked as a high-level casino executive for the (now imploded)
Dunes, Caesar's Palace, the Golden Nugget, and the Las Vegas Hilton. He's hung
out with everyone from Steve Wynn to Larry Flynt to Stu Ungar. And now, he's
won a World Series of Poker gold bracelet.
It almost didn't happen.
Just days before the WSOP started, Zwerner admitted that he had no intention to
play in the world's largest and most prestigious poker tournament. Zwerner had
not played in the World Series in nearly 15 years. But his 21-year-old son
started taking an interest in poker and encouraged the elder Zwerner to enter
and play this year.
Zwerner's victory was neither an upset nor a
surprise. After all, he arrived at the final table as one of the largest
stacks. The always-dangerous Daniel Negreanu was a close second. For only two
brief moments at the final table, Zwerner did not have the chip lead.
No one appreciated the honor or the significance of this moment more
than Jack Zwerner. 'You have to get a little bit lucky to win a tournament,' he
said. 'I was involved in hands at the right place at the right time. I tell you
- there's nothing more satisfying than winning money gambling.'
