2008 World Series of Poker champion Peter Eastgate will have to pay $6.6M of his $9.1M in winnings to the Danish tax authorities. While he can't claim that he is in the poor house, I kind of feel bad for him. Imagine going to work and the government takes 66% of your earnings. Interesting note, the Danish tax gambling winnings at 45%.
