2007 WSOP Main Event Champion Jerry Yang Watch Selling for $787k on eBay

A watch awarded to 2007 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Jerry Yang is apparently up for auction on eBay, according to a listing recently discovered by poker media outlets.

Yang lost his bracelet and other prized possessions as part of an IRS seizure for failing to pay taxes.

The listing appears below and the bids were currently coming in at $787k.

This is the watch won by Jerry Yang at the 2007 World Series of Poker. It was made by Corum specifically for the 2007 WSOP Main Event. On the clasp is engraved the words “2007 WSOP Main Event Final Table”.
The watch is in excellent condition, the glass of the watch face is flawless and there are only a couple of minor scratches on the case, nearly invisible without a magnifying glass.


I purchased this watch at an IRS seizure auction last year in Sacramento, CA and have the paperwork that shows it was seized from Jerry Yang for non payment of taxes and sold to me.
Pictures of the paperwork are attached. The watch retails by Corum for more than $9000 and that is without the provenance of having been won during the World Series of Poker Main Event.


Other than winning a WSOP Main Event bracelet yourself, this watch, won by the World Champion in 2007 is the best trophy for any poker fan to own!
