Duke & Hellmuth chop Tournament of Champions prize money???

I am also a CPA, and the only form I know of is 5754,

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/iw2g_04.pdf

not sure whether any poker players actually fill out and submit this form, since the instructions state to submit to the casino so they can separate the w2g among the winners.

I remember cashing at the Bike once and they filled out the w2g right on the spot, so this form would have been useless after the fact.

From Negreanu's Website:

[ QUOTE ]
On the break, I was feeling pretty good about making a comeback, and my focus was intensifying. I was chatting with Phil Hellmuth, and he said, “No offense, Daniel, but I have to root against you tonight.”

“Fair enough, Phil, but why is that?”

“Well, because as soon as you get knocked out, we can make a deal.”

[/ QUOTE ]

This implies that the others were willing to make a deal.
