So you've had a bigger cash than what 6th place in the WSOP paid?

[bdams19]

my favorite part is in the comments where someone mentions that forfeiting 2+ million is a minor setback for a poker player

[budblown]

He tried to say the 2.5 Mil in cash that they found at his house was from the WSOP. Right, cuz that's what you do with 2.5 Mil, just keep it in a shoebox. Obviously this 2.5 mil is to pay out, if needed, some very heavy action.

here's what i read in another article

"Half of the $2.5 million forfeited would go to the San Antonio Police Department while the other stays in the DA’s office for salaries, equipment and other law enforcement purpose".

is that even legal , it seems like he got jacked by the prosecutors nd police dept...(also isnt that legal bribery) srsly wtf

[/ QUOTE ]

Yep, it's legal. On paper, it will go down as a guilty plea and a fine or seizure. Fruits of illegal enterprise can be legally seized. That is one of the most common ways of funding DARE programs.

Comments like this are dumb.

The guy was stating that Lee didn't win the WSOP -- a true fact. Weather that guy has cashed higher or not is completely irrelevant.

Richard Lee had to pay $2.5M for his gambling operation. Situation is apparently finished.

No your comment is dumb. The guy was not stating that Lee didn't win the WSOP. He said "seems like he should work on winning his first poker tournament". I'll be willing to wager that Lee has won a lot of Poker Tourneys.

So my retort to the guy was like wtf you talking about, of course the guy has won tourneys and why are you acting so high and mighty when I'm sure you can't top a $2 million dollar cash.

Btw, the "weather" here this morning was very foggy.

so do i get a pay jump a la ca$ino?
