Re: Liz Lieu \"bought\" her win at the LA PokerClassic.....any thoughts?
[ QUOTE ]
Earlier, a three-way deal had been made where Heidema was to get $45,013 to $37,453 for Lieu and $23,466 for Jack Boghossian. They agreed to play for $10,000 and the trophy, and Lieu announced she would donate 20 percent of her winnings to charity if she won the tournament. Now, to make sure that the promised money did go to charity mostly to multiple sclerosis, the remainder to Vietnam aid she offered to let Heidema take $7,000 of the $10,000 if she could have the win and trophy that went with it, or play on, and he took the deal.

What a lame excuse! It's not like the charity will refuse her donoation if she didn't win the tournament. She is free to give any money at any time to whatever charity she wants.
Oh the title of that article was ' LIZ LIEU MAKES A TROPHY DEAL SO THAT CHARITY GETS MONEY'. What a load of crap
