Really well done Chris. Great to follow along for this run.

Thanks everyone for the support and the rail. I had a game plan going in based on the payout structure and what I knew about the players and how I thought they'd perceive me. Part of that plan included not being afraid to rip it in bleznicks face in a resteal spot. Unlucky that it didn't work out for us.

With no difference between 27th-19th I wanted to try and get chips early to be in a position to be the one applying the ICM pressure with 15 left.

gg congrats

They said wire is gonna take 3-5 business days, so in the meantime if you guys start getting the 1099s ready I can get you all paid when it gets here.

Awesome run, congrats to everyone who invested

Congrats, well played and most deserving!

Excellent run Chris, congrats!

Hey buddy,

Excellent run and amazing performance - congrats! Did you get any info on what I'm supposed to be doing?

Thanks,
Ben

I spoke to the guy briefly at the cpa desk there, I may be able to send to you without any paperwork, we're gonna follow up when I get back home and get the money

Ok buddy, I'm gonna PM you my Skype if that's cool and keep me updated on there?

Good game again and congrats!

Just to confirm, I think you need a W-9 from each of us, so that you can send us a 1099 early next year. I sent my W-9 to the email address that I used for paypal, if you prefer me to send somewhere else just let me know. Thanks!

Nah moose that's perfect. Apologies, I don't have any real experience with this and wanna make sure I do it right.

Benedmonds we can chat on skype when I get back pm me your name

gg, wp,
enjoyed the sweat!

W9 submitted via google.docs, let me know if any problems.

nice run sir!

Ok so from what I understand I need form W-9 from US backers (which some of you have sent me already).

With people from countries with a tax treaty, I need form W-8BEN

Backers from a country without a tax treaty need to have 30% withheld.

Hopefully that should clear up any issues and I'll update further once the wire comes through.

I sent in my w9 to the email address for your quickpay.

Send me email address for where I'm sending w9

PM me an email and I'll send you the form now!

Wire just hit my account today, just gonna take extra precaution and try to talk to an accountant tomorrow, make sure I've done everything I'm supposed to, best ways to pay people, drawing up receipts and all that, and then I will start paying people out.

There's some good discussion (and input from Russ Fox, who seems to be quite knowledgeable on the subject) in this thread, as well as in a thread that is linked within this one:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/18...1-1-a-1617340/

Just something to add to any accounting advice you get on your own. I've never been on the player side of it, I can definitely understand wanting to confirm everything before sending out large amounts. Thanks for the update.

Thank you I will be sure to read all that in a bit. Got home this morning and am catching up on the many hours of sleep I've been missing this past week lol

Am I the only guy who had pieces of both? Staking run good confirmed.

Sent W9

Update: sent out payment to most people who have given me W-9s, please confirm when received. Waiting for an appointment with my accountant to discuss the non-US investors and to make sure everything is done correctly.
