 Taxman Cometh
So, the WSOPC is going on at Harrah's this week, and the IRS decided to get a little crafty. The players arrived and were told that they owed x amount to the IRS from a previous win. They had to either pay up or leave the property, and not play in the event. For some of the players, the tax bill was 16K; not exactly something you have on you at all times! Gavin Smith and Evelyn Ng were affected by this, and apparently there are more big names on the list...will be interesting to see what happens!
