Default Re: The $2,000,000 Club

Raymer and Moneymaker chopped. That's the first time I've heard of that. In fact, I've heard that Moneymaker offered Farha to chop and he said, "no" as he felt he could outplay Chris.
I believe you're not being truthful.
From the FAQ section on Raymer's website: asking how much he and his backers netted following his big win:
"As is well known, I won $5M. I had a backing deal (see below), and my backers got about $2.1M, leaving me with $2.9M. After paying state and federal taxes, I will end up with about $1.7M. A far cry from $5M, but still a very happy number. ;-)"
I'm surprised his backers got $2.1M and he got $1.7M. That adds up, if my math is correct, to $3.9. And, why doesn't he mention the chop in his answer? Who's lying? His response mentions earning a $5M prize.
Here are some stories about the Moneymaker-Farha deal you're talking about:

They all say that Farha turned down a deal. Interesting. Care to rescind your statement, sir?
