Re: Richard Lee forfeits most of his WSOP winnings!
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] 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 ] this is done all the time in drug seizure cases...you been living under a rock? [/ QUOTE ] Do drug dealers get reduced sentences just cuz the cops take the cash? I thought cops just took the cash cuz the drug dealers dont deserve it and made it illegally, and cops are legally corrupt like that. Also if he made the money from poker it was not from illegal gambling at all. Also what is with the 80% figure, are they getting a 20% refund if so lol.

[ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] Shaq? [/ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ] I'd feel like a winner, after all, I just 'won' money. I wouldn't, however feel like I won the tournament. You have a way with manipulating words.

[/ QUOTE ] Many many players on the nuggets walk away from a field of all of the people on the earth with a cash of over $2 million dollars every year. Do you not think that this combined with the fact they also made the playoffs makes them also feel like winners rather than losers? so as i said Congrats Nuggets!!!!!

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] "I'm glad it's over," Lee said. "Now I need to go win another poker tournament." [/ QUOTE ] seems like he should work on winning his first poker tournament. [/ QUOTE ] So you've had a bigger cash than what 6th place in the WSOP paid? [/ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] 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. [/ QUOTE ] Lee implied that he needed to win another big tournament to make back his money. Afaik he hasn't won any big tourneys (10th at the Bellgaio WPT is the best I can find). Stating that he should work on winning his first tournament, not another tournament seems accurate to me. Nitty, but accurate.

Yay to him for making the money but I seriously doubt he left the Rio thinking, "Gee, I'm a winner." He probably thought, "Nice cash. Maybe someday I will win a tournament."
