Dont **** with Johnny Chan, thats all I know.

Phil Gordon mentioned the 50% deal during the FT broadcast. Doesn't really surprise me that he's backing out of it though, $6 mil seems a lot bigger when you're writing someone a check for it.This source is very reliable, BTW.

I suppose it was to the actor guy, for covering Jamie's ***. Could be wrong though. I'm hearing more and more negative stuff about Gold.

it won't stop either. once stories like these get leaked, it'll keep piling on and on and on, and eventually, someone will either take him out or he'll fold under the pressure and kill himself.or go to a psych ward.

Bodog paid his buyin, in exchange for Gold getting a celebrity to wear Bodog merchandise. Gold couldn't pull this off on his own, so he enlisted help. He promised the people (person?) who helped 50% of his winnings, and apparently promised Chan 10%. He had no clue he'd end up winning, so it probably seemed like a harmless promise to him. Now he's taking steps to avoid having to pay the 50%. IMO, Gold is just another example of a person so far removed from reality that he has no clue how to behave in a situation that would seem standard to many others. 50% is a pretty standard backer agreement, AFAIK, so he really shouldn't have a problem with it, but he's a greedy fucker.

And he has already pissed off the WSOP by blowing off a bunch of interviews. What a douchebag.

I read through the article three times and all I caught was that he says he will be giving ten percent to Johnny chan and then half to his friend. Nothing about this seems unusual. Am I missing something?

the last thing poker needs now is a jack *** as the reighning world champ.
