Wear Red & White and get 5000 chips
I have noticed that over time and with more and more AHL members joining the AHL family there are many people that have no idea who Jerry "Polish" Wolski is and he is a HUGE reason that AHL Poker exist. Jerry was the co-founder of AHL Poker with me but that barely scratches the surface of what he meant to me and many other people. To keep it short but make the point Jerry "Polish" was a fantastic husband and friend to his wife Kristin whom works for Disney in L.A. and still handles most of the artwork needs of AHL Poker to this day.
To me Jerry "Polish" was a brother, partner and a best friend of whom shoes can never be filled, he made me believe again that magic can happen and you should never give up and most importantly he believed in me in a time when very few did. Jerry passed away in 2007 when AHL Poker was just shy of a year old and barely at 2000 members. He absolutely loved AHL Poker and was so proud of the players and the AHL family. He played just about every day and I challenge anyone that met him to have a single bad word. He was one of those people that simply put was special and he is missed.
Jerry's Birthday is August, 11th (8/11) and from here out in AHL Poker that will be Jerry Day! Jerry worked very hard to become an American citizen and was very proud to be here but he always maintained his Polish pride and so anyone who wears Red & White on 8/11 will receive 5000 extra chips as a nod to the man! This way as the years go on players will always know that Jerry was a big part of AHL Poker and he is remembered.
The pic you see used in the "Jerry Day" image was from the first AHL Poker Championship game where we awarded $4500.00 in Cash and Prized which at the time was a VERY big deal to us! Great day!
I am so very proud of the AHL Poker family and how it has continued to grow and establish itself as the best of the best and I know he would/will get a kick and a huge smile about having his own holiday!
Thank you all for your continued support and everything you do to make AHL the best,
I miss you brother,
Adam Thompson co-founder AHL Poker |
