Getting it in on hand #95,000,000,000
The initial surprise and excitement turned into high drama as Hungarian player MenFedlak disconnected, just about the same time as Lee Jones appeared to congratulate and explain what was taking place. A few minutes and some desperate phone calls later, MenFedlak's connection kicked back in. But not for long. The connection went again.
The errant player was given some time, then some time more. And then longer still as a 30-minute window was provided for Hungarian Internet service providers to sort their house out or, if not, surely more than enough time for MenFedlak to get to a friend's house? Apparently not. Still, $10,240 for free isn't too bad when you bought in for $16.
Aside from MenFedlak, all the money quickly went in.
joking aside , I bet the other players would have been getting pissed off sitting there waiting, what if they had been on lunch break, lectures to get to etc.In a normal hand it wouldn't ben paused for that long for him to sit back in and if he sits out everyone else has a better chance of winnng. Have to feel for the guy who had the eventual winner dominated QJ vs J4 , paired the flop and got rivered with a straight.
