didnt the guy who won the main event last year have to pay loads of taxes on his win

If you win anthing at WSOP do you have to pay US taxes then tax in the country where you reside

Play in a Canadian Casino. Like our Lotteries/scratch tickets there are no taxes on winnings. Canada screws Canadians in a different ways by taxing 60% on Alcohol and cigarettes.So there are no taxes on your winnings in a Canadian Casino. I was shocked when i was in Vegas and a friend hit a little jackpot($1,200) on a machine and I think the rule at the time was anything over 1k is taxed.So the machine didn,t pay out and when he went to collect they took like 33% off his prize pot.
Similar to anything American like Survivor show winners win 1 million dollars but after taxed its only about 666 thousand.I remember the gay 1st time winner.Very smart fella but didn,t claim his winnings/pay the tax and faced jail time by the mighty US IRS.
