Fathers around the globe woke last weekend, possibly nudged slightly sooner than hoped by small eager hands, to be presented with various homemade cards and gifts made in school to celebrate Father's Day. 

The debate about whose Dad is the most efficient on the earth is moot, despite what it says at the card, at the t-shirt, or the newness barbeque apron. What's important is that all of us have our reasons for thinking it, and that incorporates small kids, and large ones, including members of Team PokerStars. 

Yesterday members of Team Pro paid tribute to their fathers in brief videos posted at the PokerStars USA Facebook page (that you would be able to see by clicking the links highlighted below). These weren't just quick moments of celebration, they were tributes to these individuals who were there for them, guided them and stood by all of them their lives.  

Jason Somerville credited his Dad for his success. "LABOR is everything," was among what he said, advice which Somerville has was a successful poker (and Twitch) career.

Jen Shehade's first game could have been chess, nevertheless it was on the the encouragement of her father that she and her brother took up poker. "My Dad was always right behind me," she said, crediting him for helping her to ascertain herself among the finest in both games. 

For Chris Moneymaker, a father himself, his Dad has left a long-lasting impression on his own life, "always at games, at practices", and, as a poker player, ring side for that famous World Series win in 2003.  

Then there has been Jason Mercier, enjoying an excellent summer on the World Series in Las Vegas, who dedicated a bracelet win to his father to his father Rick, who we wrote about last week at the PokerStars Blog.
