WSOP Champ Duhamel Battling Canadian Tax Authorities Over Millions

Jonathan Duhamel is taking the phrase "embrace the variance" to a whole new level.

The 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event champion has become embroiled in a tax dispute with the Canadian government, according to a report from The Canadian.

A $1.8 Million Question

The Canada Revenue Agency alleges that Duhamel's poker activities constitute the running of a business and he's therefore responsible for CA$1,219,114 in federal back taxes stemming from 2010-2012. That number could double with state taxes to Quebec, which would bring the total to roughly CA$2.
