An Unfortunate Tale

[user46392]

A rather sad story has come to us of British player Simon Hennessey. We noticed a couple of hours in that he hadn't turned up, his name card sitting by his lonely, dwindling stack of chips. It turns out he thought that the event was tomorrow, and by the time he realized his mistake and sped down to the Amazon Room, he had been blinded down to just 1,200. After grinding like he had never ground before, he built his few remaining chips up into an above-average stack -- and then lost it all on a coinflip. Such is poker.
