The WSOP does not endorse tournament deals on a liability issue (WTF)

[MrFizzbin]

Every player has the option of taking some portion in Ca$h and some portion in check. Simply have the Brazilians take their checks and turn around and hand you the $$$$ of course they are probably subject to the 30 % withholding, and their efforts to avoid the withholding may have been a motivation for the goofy deal, and the cash and check method wouldn't have helped that.
