World Series of Poker Winner Settles Up

By launchpoker, Feb 8, 2007

Jamie Gold won the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event last summer, and the $12 million prize, but ran into a snag when Los Angeles-based TV producer Bruce Crispin Leyser showed up claiming he was owed half. The matter has now been resolved in an out of court settlement between both parities, although the actual dollar figure has not been released. Gold had been allowed to take half the prize money while the matter was settled, with the remaining $6 million frozen in an interest bearing account.
