zeken 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 So Jimmy took the $2500 buyout.I heard through the Red Hot Poker Tour Grapevine that Jimmy will be backed by Daniel at a number of different events. He is headed down to Vegas with Red Hot July 23-27 If you watched when DN had Jimmy in the back room Jimmy started crying and DN told him he would take care of him. I guess the backing is the "taking care of him part" Link to post Share on other sites

It looked like Jimmy could really use the $$$ because he has not seen his sister in 17 years and DN has taken almost all the players in the back not necessarily the short stacks.

zeken 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 Ah ok...I can't wait until this airs in the States or is available on DVD...Well its about time we in Canada get to see something before the US.All the ESPN and FSN events are aired in Canada months after they have already aired in the US.You live in Buffalo right ? You should check the Protege schedule at www.sportsnet.ca and come across the border and watch it at the Casino or some bar. Just an idea ! Link to post Share on other sites

NautHumon 0 Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 I think its great that Daniel said he was willing to invest in this guy. I mean he took the buyout but its seems that he did really need the money but had his heart in the right place poker wise. I hope that things can turn around for Jimmy. As for Daniel again he shows the generosity and character in the players of what was once thought to be a dirty way to make a living. A true ambassador and Canadian as well.
