I got a chance to chat with Steve at Foxwoods. He struck me as a very decent, modest guy. He seems to be well grounded. I am happy for his new found fortune. I enjoyed talking with him and I wish him well.

How much is the government taking in tax??!!? 4.5 million, half, so 2.25 million gets taxed down to 1.3 million?!?!!?!? Is that legal?

He had to give half to his backer. So they went home with 2.6 Mil. I think 50% tax is the norm on winnings.

What I wanna know is how you can be a pro tourney player when half of your winnings are given to the government? Its like a 50% rake!!!
