Heaven – Looks like the debts are continuing to pile up for young Nick Marchington!
Just a week after being served a lawsuit for 10% his WSOP Main Event winnings, Marchington has learned that Christ and his church are also asking for a piece of the action.
In a statement to BCP, Jesus** wrote (in red letters):
โThe Marchingtons have been members of the Church of England for many generations. And having received a baptism, communion, and confirmation in the Church, Nick entered upon an unspoken agreement to tithe 10% of his future earnings to further Godโs kingdom. This 10% is kindly requested at his earliest possible convenience. Also, the juice is now running on it. 3 points a week.โ
Talk about a divine message!
Sadly, the news only went from bad to worse for the 21-year-old seventh-place finisher. Shortly thereafter, Cliff โJohnnyBaxโ Josephy came forward claiming he was owed money as well saying:
โAfter backing every single player in the poker community, I have completely lost track of who owes me what. But one thing is certain – thereโs no way somebody else is owed 10% and Iโm not.โ
And finally not to be left out, the IRS issued a statement saying, โWe would also like some of Nickโs money. Now sure, Nick isnโt technically a US citizen. And sure the English arenโt taxed on gambling winnings. And sure, we donโt have a leg to stand on here. But look, Erick Lindgren hasnโt given us a dime and rentโs around the corner and the deficit is ballooning and can you just help us out man?โ
Classic IRS.
Nick later took to Twitter to let everyone know that theyโre being ridiculous, that heโs probably not gonna pay anyone and to ask who Erick Lindgren was.
All in all, one thing is for certain: this looks to be a HUGE story in the world of poker until everybody completely forgets about it by Thursday.
**Disclaimer: โJesus Christโ or Jesusโ is not to be confused with Chris โJesusโ Ferguson, who sort of took 10% of everyoneโs winnings already.
