Jamie Gold finally settled the dispute over his $12 million prize for winning the World Series of Poker Main Event.
After Gold won, he was sued by Bruce Crispin Leyser who claimed Gold promised him half the money if Gold cashed.
Leyser helped Gold recruit celebrities (I think Matthew Lillard and that guy Sully from some white band I never heard of) to play in the tournament while wearing the bodog.com logo.
Because Gold is such a horrible player he probably never expected that he would have to pay up.
And he finally did, though they are not saying if Gold gave him the full $6 million.
All they said was "Jamie always intended on sharing his winnings with Crispin."
Leyser claimed to have a voice mail from Gold promising him the money.
