JF: Once you were officially guaranteed to be “in the money,” was your goal to reach a certain amount or to last as long as possible?

ACEP Now: Vol 37 – No 09 – September 2018

JY: The goal is to win it, for sure. We are blessed to have the careers we do. Winning $20,000 won’t change our lives. The goal is to make the final table [Note: The final table of nine players are guaranteed $1 million in prize money each.]

JF: Once around 1,000 players were left, the emergency medicine community started to notice your run. I started checking in on your progress online, as did many others, and we were rooting for you! What was it like feeling the love on Twitter and Facebook from the EM community?

JY: It was amazing. That EM Docs group on Facebook is legit. And the Twitter love was so great.

JF: Will you play in the World Series again?

JY: I’ll definitely be back next year.
