What the... I know that guy!!

Welcome to stardom James Pollack. Like me, on May 15 you were standing in the endzone of Kenan Stadium a proud graduate of UNC and the Kenan-Flagler Business School. Unlike me, two months later you are second in chips at the World Series of Poker playing for $7.5 million dollars. Meanwhile I am sweating my ass off riding the subway in Manhattan during the middle of the summer to work as a tax consultant next to a giant hole in the ground.

Congratulations James Pollack, you have arrived. I remember seeing you play at Goldie's in Chapel Hill, and soon I will see you on TV. Now, you have truly humbled me. While I was studying for financial reporting or environmental politics, you were honing your poker skills. Now, in the wake of your most glorious moment, I submit my most hearty congratulations to you. I hope to see you in the future and shake your hand as one KFBS grad to the next, and then... ask to borrow $10,000.
