Greenstein declines to run it twice, loses $0.5M

Dwan, is my favourite player on high stakes poker currently.

In this hand, both players are all in on the flop.
Dwan "Do you want to run it twice?"
Greenstein (who never runs it twice) "No. do you want to take back 200k?"
Dwan "No"

Dwan goes on to win the $1M pot

Poker is a game of skill according to New Scientist

One of the best bluffs ever - high stakes poker

I love high stakes poker because the players use their own money. Watch Tom Dwan win over $100K with the worst hand. WSOP champion Greenstein folds AA and WSOP champion Eastgate folds three 2s.

Thats a lot of taxes

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%.
