He was crippled and out shortly after that.....geez.
Poker taught me how to be self critical and how to use to that to improve...also taught me how to dust myself off and go again. The past is the past. Learn your lessons and move right on. --Paulif

Sick... that was my fear when I played the ME. Would suck to have some horrible cooler occur, but they happen.

Well, no one likes to be crippled, but presumably he got in while he was ahead and a strong favorite. That's all we can ever hope for.
Peace,

Absolutely. I have a strong feeling that there was no betting on the river.

A friend of mine busted in the main event a few years ago on the same hand, ony his opponent had a set of 8s vs his set of aces and hit his one-outer on the river.

Wonder how the guy with kings played afterwards.

Assuming he was a random amature. You get it in against a name pro only to see a brutal cooler and catch a river miracle. Keeping your composure in that spot would be almost as tough as if your big name villian had doubled through you in a similar fashion.
