Additional money received:
tradershky - $90 for 5 shares - YOU GOT IT
JimmyG_415 - $54 for 3 shares - YOU GOT IT
GambleBotsChafedPenis - $36 for 2 shares - YOU GOT IT (in case anyone's wondering, this isn't GAMBLE-BOT)
Hockey Guy - $18 for 1 share - WILL HOLD UNTIL 6/24, THEN WILL EITHER GIVE YOU SHARE OR REFUND
Please note that there are now only 17 shares left to be purchased. If you want a piece of me in Event 53, please act quickly, as I will not be adding any more events to the schedule. There is also a fair chance that nobody will get anything outside of the aforementioned two priority groups.
On June 24th, I will make an announcement of how much everyone will get on "reserve" and refund them the difference. Please pay in advance if you want to be given a portion of whatever remains on reserve.
PM sent. Looking like i can't make it out to Vegas, so I'm going to count on you to fill the void.
5 shares Per Favor.
Daly, ship the money (I sent you a PM), and 5 shares are yours.
system.out.println also said he wants to roll over his Event #6 winnings into #53, but he already has more than 5 overall WSOP shares of me, so he will have to go on the RESERVE list.
Provided Daly sends the money (and I think he will), there will only be 12 left.
Hi Druff can I get 5 shares please I missed out on the first batch this year. I bought in "across the board" last year, do I get a discount?

Will be refunding for Event #40.
Regarding Event #37, where I cashed $52,582:
1) Each share is worth $525.82.
2) If you have one share, I can send it to you now if you want. Probably better if I write you a check or send a bank transfer. PM me for details.
3) If you have two or more shares, you have two choices:
- Take the payout now, but I will have to give you a W-9 tax form, and will need that form before I send you the money
-or-
- See how the rest of the series plays out, and if you're still $600 or more up overall. If you're not, I won't need to W-9 you. Otherwise, I will.
I need to send you the W-9 for over $600 profit because otherwise I will be responsible for your taxes.
Also keep in mind that the W-9 doesn't mean you will have to automatically pay taxes on your winnings. This just adds to your overall gambling winnings for 2013. If your losses exceed your winnings in 2013, you will not owe any taxes on what I send you. For example, if I send you the W-9 for $1000, but then in July you shoot off that $1000 playing 1-2 at your local casino, you would owe zero in taxes.
Regarding Event 53: I'll deal with those tomorrow. I know some people sent me money in addition to what is listed so far.
Well done Druff! keep it up
Great job Todd. I've been unbelievably busy & haven't been following too closely so it's great to see you doing well & getting your second cash of the series.
You can square up with me after the series is done.

Let me promise you that I sold these shares for two reasons:
1) Reduction of variance
2) Adding a fun "sweat" element to the WSOP for PFA members
I would enter all of the listed tournaments even if nobody bought any pieces. I just don't play much poker these days (given the online situation and the fact that I have a 2-year-old), and bricking out all of the events can be costly. Unlike the old days, I can't just fire up my favorite online poker site and win the money back in a week or two.
The reason I'm mentioning this is because I easily have the money to pay everyone, and none of this was done out of any kind of desperation for buyin money.
I have build my reputation on these forums -- and in poker in general -- on honesty and straightforwardness, and I would never roll anyone here or anywhere.
You can feel completely safe in letting your money sit until the end of the series, if you want to see how everything plays out.
If you want the money immediately, I can do that, as well.
Some people asked me, "Does it piss you off that you cashed over $50k and now have to give more than half of it away to other people?"
My answer was, "No, I'm actually happy for the investors who won, and I actually felt guilty that people sent me their money over the past two years and got very little in return."
And I really mean that. This community has been a big part of my life for the past 9 years, and I have no problem sharing these winnings with the people who had faith enough in me to invest.
Looking to make it a perfect 3-for-3 for PFA members in 2013 with Tuesday's Ante-Only event. I made it through about 80% of the field last year, but went card dead and couldn't survive long enough to cash.
Druff, congrats on the 5th place finish. Even tho I did not have a piece of the action, I did sweat the final table
until you were eliminated. It was fun to watch and hope to see another final table this week.
Of course he's cashing this year since I got shut out
Keep it up!
Received $90 from belly buster & Daly, 5 shares each for Event 53. Both got it.
6 shares remain for Event #53. It starts tomorrow at noon.
This is the "final call" for anyone in Priority groups described earlier (5 or fewer total shares of me in the WSOP) to buy these shares.
I must receive the money from you (or the order to roll over winnings you have) by the end of radio tonight.
After radio, I will allocate the remaining 6 in the following fashion:
I will be "round robining" those shares by going through the list of those who have paid (or transferred winnings) and giving 1 share each. If there are remaining shares, I will do it a second round for another share.
The priority in the "rounds" will be done by number of total shares you already have of me in this WSOP, from least to most.
