The latest champion of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event took to social media on Aug. 29 to address a swap dispute between himself and Greece's Alex "Pwndidi" Theologis that left many prominent poker players backing the Main Event champ.
For the uninitiated, a "swap" refers to an agreement between two players in a tournament to exchange a percentage of potential winnings. In messages shared by Jorstad from July, Theologis claimed to have swapped 3% in the WSOP Main Event with Jorstad — which, before taxes, would be a $300,000 share — though he hadn't written it down and couldn't remember where it happened.
