Maybe the Least Reported Major "Sports" Story from 2006

If you are a sports fan and watch ESPN - then you know how it is almost impossible to get away from watching repeats of the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event. As both a sports and poker fan (I'm not calling poker a sport) I like watching these re-runs.

Even the casual sports fan probably knows that Jamie Gold won the 2006 WSOP Main Event and that his prize was a record $12 million. But did you know that half that money is still being kept at the Rio casino because it is unclear that it belongs to Jamie Gold?

Jamie Gold is being sued by Bruce Crispin Leyser who says that he had a promise from Gold to split Gold's winnings. A $6 million lawsuit on the outcome of poker's Super Bowl and you would be hard pressed to even know such a thing happened if you relied upon the MSM for your information.
