There are plenty of stories saying he is broke. They say he losses it all in the pits(craps?).

The News come out some days back, the good news is that the buyer of the bracelet was Cake poker, they already mention that will return the bracelet back to TJ, wich i think was very honored thing.

And yes, it looks like TJ like to play a lot to craps.

That's pretty sad that he needed to pawn his WSOP bracelet. He's won millions in tournaments alone, probably millions more in cash games. He is a great poker player but must have a serious problem in the casinos...
