prize pool.

PokerNews.com has posted a news story about Jamie Gold
responding to the law suited filed against him. Here is the
quote from his public statement which was released through his
publicist.
"Jamie Gold is disappointed
that the plaintiff, a person
he has only known since July of this year, has elected to file
litigation rather than continue the parties' discussions in an
effort to find a resolution to this matter. Mr. Gold believes
strongly in the American judicial system and believes that it
is better to present his case there than to try the matter
before the court of public opinion. He is pleased to have had
the opportunity to participate and win the World Series of
Poker and is pleased with the quality of the tournament, his
outstanding opponents, and Harrah's, the event organizer. Mr.
Gold further appreciates the support of his fans and sponsor,
Bodog.net, and hopes that this unfortunate litigation will not
detract from the outstanding efforts of the entire field of
participants in the World Series of Poker."
