[admin]

Less than $1 million.
?1 million
$3 million
$6 million, which equals half of the first prize.

How much money do "we" think it took for Jamie Gold to ...

... to what? The thread subject title dropped off.

Edit: Nevermind, I just spotted it in the Poker Poll to the left.

So how much was it? I thought maybe a mil.

[xk9x]

It was the full 6 I think - he was ordered to pay half of it.

[vervius]

and what's the story behind the question?

[varsity629]

I honestly dont think that Jamie refused to pay him the 6 million that they agreed on...The part that hung up the split of the money was the factor of who was going to pay the "taxes" on the money. I think because Jamie won the money, the other guy was saying that he had to pay the taxes which Gold surely refused.

For 2 smart guys and successful guys, It is crazy to think that they didnt settle on the specifics of this, with taxes always being the main hangup. I guess no one really expects to have that problem with 5000+ players.

i would have thought about 5 million, if he had to pay 6, he prolly would have just take crispin to court...
