As the hand played out, the rest of the table was engaged in a discussion about variance, leading Jeremy Ausmus to reveal that his biggest downswing has been 70 buy-ins.

"I had a million-dollar downswing," Matusow told the table. "And I was playing $10ks."

"How is your biggest downswing 70 buy-ins?" an incredulous Brewer asked Ausmus.

"I had a million-dollar downswing," Matusow repeated.
