Backup Internet Connections FTW
|
It's tilting enough to have Internet connection issues on a normal night.. I can't imagine having them while 10-handed in the WCOOP main event.
Here is a hand that took place just a few minutes ago in the WCOOP main event:

--
"joeysweetp" got disconnected before the turn card was dealt, "POTTERPOKER" led out with a tiny bet of just 180,550, and "joeysweetp" insta-folded.
As if that wasn't bad enough, the connection issues for "joeysweetp" persisted during the final table bubble, and he folded a couple of big blinds while disconnected.
Having Internet connection issues is tilting at the best of times - I can't imagine how horrible it would be when you are nine players away from taking home over $2 million...
Edit: "joeysweetp" apparently had AK in this hand (according to him).
Edit: "joeysweetp" ended up finishing in second and is now $1.4 million richer.
