Hi Mike:
I agree. While I'm sure he's getting a lot by most people's standards, $3 million sounds way too high.
best wishes,

true story...
i brought with me, and picked up more at the trade show, several new poker magazines. i also brought with me a couple of past issues of casino player.
while in vegas during the ME, ON THE TOILET in my room, i read this in a small sidebar story in one of the new mags or one i brought with me. i was surprised, and read it again and again.
coming home, i had bought so many gifts that i had to purge all my magazines i brought. so whatever publication it was in, i won't be able to find the hard copy story because i trashed them all.
while it is entirely possible that the magazine source got it wrong, i can assure that this was not a Granny, senility moment. o'malley would know more than most (except daniel and wynn), so i tend to think the story was wrong. however, this story is currently in print, valid or not.
i can't find it online, but since it was a new edition of whatever mag it was, it is possible the archiving is not done yet. i'll search again in a few weeks, but like i said, it was just something in a magazine and nothing i heard from any horse's mouth.
