Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

This story is kind of old news isn't it? We all knew he promised someone else half his money.,.....you didn't see a lawsuit coming?

Good, hopefully he gets what he deserves.

now it proves the money they pour on the table is fake, how cool would it be to drive home w/ 12 million in cash

There's also this:http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/.../566635576.htmlDont know if it was already posted but interesting to see if a phone message will hold up in court, assuming there is one.

Before or after you are run off the road and shot in the back of the head to die in the desert by every low life that heard you have that much cash in your car and are driving through the desert?

Stay tuned for the next episode of "As the WSOP Turns"

Too bad he's already "blown" 8.7 million at the Crazy Horse II

You'd think rather than relying on honesty in hollywood and phone conversations you'd both sign a piece of paper with "The undersigned agree to split any winnings 50/50 in the 2006 WSOP main event".I mean it's only $12 million. Sure a simple "oh OK" on the phone, that'll do fine...

can't help but laugh !!entering the wsop main event : $ 10,000winning the 1st prize : $ 12,000,000seeing Gold'a face hen he has to give up 6 million : priceless !

maybe there will be a silver lining to this and the big circuits will require any deals or staking arrangements to be officially registered before hand. it speaks volumes that he hasnt picked up his money yet.

haha, this thread is so malicious and naive

[Flack_attack 0]

I hope he wastes the other 6 million on legal fees.

Gold should move to instanbul and sell dates and figs under the pseudonym 'Tolga Serkan'. What a d00che!

If you should ever win a big chunk of money like this, DO NOT take it right away. Take a little while and find out the best thing you can do regarding taxes etc.The little time you spend finding out the best advise can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars.

3.6 million. And I have a feeling the lawsuit is going to be a failure anyways.

Any one think this is just a marketing scam by Bodog.... They get there name in the paper and all the publicity.... then Gold comes out and says he was going to pay the guy, but his friend got scared that he wasn't going to get paid....Just a thought

[Stylin_Fish 0]

I really want Bodog to do a bet whether this guy will turn up dead one day in the near future. They can give oustanding odds and then say "oops, sorry it was a typo, you will be refunded your money, that is all Thank You"

[terradawg 0]

i think there is a chance the statute of frauds comes into play here. basically, if a contract is for more than $500 the contract HAS to be in writing. if gold can use this defense then he should be successful. not sure about NV law though...

Crispin Lesyer is an instructor at the WPT boot camps. He and hs wife Jules ( a real hotty) were very good instructors. It was funny, however, to hear TJ Cloutier disagree with their commets.http://www.wptbootcamp.com/trainer.php?id=38

I also have one of those messages on my answering machine. Unfortunately it was from someone who didn't cash...
