When the winner of the 37th annual World Series of Poker Main Event, Jamie Gold, went to collect his $12 million prize, he ran into a legal battle with a reputed business partner for half. When final table player Richard Lee returned home, he ran into police troubles when his home was raided on suspicions of his involvement with an illegal gambling ring. But not all final table finishers ran into drama after their spotlighted accomplishments. Take Dan Nassif, a 33-year-old advertising executive who won over one and a half million dollars at the event. Four days after the tournament was over, he was back selling ad space for the Riverfront Times. He did pay of his house, but says he is investing the rest of the winnings. One of his biggest indulgences was showing up tardy for his first day back on the job.
