Master Champion Requests Bank Loan
Enschede, The Netherlands — Dutchman Alexander Witt completed an amazing win streak of 11 wins to be crowned PT Nice Masters champion last weekend. The most recent in an ever growing list of Dutch stars earned fame and fortune by savaging the opposition in both Gateway and Master events.
On sunday evening Witt claimed the top prize of $25,000. When the fresh champion was celebrating his winnings and victory over Kai Budde he was roughly disturbed by his financial advisor:
'Alex we got a problem here.'
'What's up?'
'Well you have to cough up another few grand.'
'What? Why?'
'Well , first you wrecked your mothers car on the way to Nice.' (from our reporter: Witt drove the vehicle through a crash barrier and parked it against a tree when avoiding collision with a deer)
' You said you would buy a new one with your winnings... '
'Sure.'
'Ok, Secondly I urge you to seriously slack off on your money splits. They are getting out of hand. If we pay everybody everything as agreed upon you need to win the next Masters as well.'
The sympathetic Mr Witt was not available for comments but the following conversation could be overheard on IRC:
[23:43] but if he'd pay up all his splits the way they're SUPPOSED to go, he has to pay extra
[23:44] Justin Gary - $2k
[23:44] Alan Comer - 50% of winnings over $2k
[23:44] StanV - 10% of total
[23:44] Noah - 25% of total
[23:44] Wessel 25% of total
[23:45] Frank $600 + $300 per round won in masters
[23:45] noah gets more money than he does....
Quickly calculated this adds up to $30,600 to be given away and that's without paying for a new car!
