We met up with Wil Wheaton briefly after the show.
Glyphic: Man, I was so pissed when I read about your getting knocked out with those kings.
Wil: Yeah? How do you think I felt? From seventh in chips…
Wil: Chris called me afterwards and told me about how he got knocked out of a Sit-N-Go on a brutal beat, and I’m like, “How much was the buy-in?” “5 dollars.” “Shut up! I was just knocked out of a 2 million dollar tourney!”
But hey, whether it’s a $5 event, a $30 event, or a $10,000 event, I think you feel the same way when you suffer a bad beat or fight your way to the win. How long that feeling lasts, well… that’s different.
