This may be in the rebuy thread but Vinnie Vinh hasn't shown up and is being blinded out. He started the day with 2000 chips.
Hope he's ok. Vinh -------------------- |

these are the possibilities:
1) he's ODed at home 2) a bookcase fell on him at home 3) he had a heart attack/stroke/brain anueryism at home 4) he slipped in the shower/fell while drunk/tripped over the dog and hit his head at home 5) he's in the hospital 6) he's in the morgue 7) he's dead and someone will find his body in a couple days -------------------- phil hellmuth's agent, vinny vinh's coroner, official representative of Proplayer Energy Drink

i hope he is okay, but given the fact that he's a compulsive gambler, a verrrrry shady character, and that he was in such a good position today i'll be the first one to say it.

Vinny Vinh Eliminated in 20th Place ($16,232)
Vinny Vinh's stack has been blinded off, and he'll finish in 20th place. Not bad for a guy who never arrived to play Day 2. Hope he's alright...

Not to be morbid, but the last time that something similar to this happened was when Stu Ungar was chipleader of the World Series of Poker in 1990, and then he didn't show up the next day. His friend, Billy Baxter, showed up at his hotel room to see what was wrong, and found him laying on the floor, a victim of a drug overdose. Ungar was blinded down, and eventually ended up finishing 9th in the tournament for $20,500.
I would just like to point out how great Ungar was. He was DEAD and still made the FT edit-sw(forgot) -------------------- Interested in a 1/3nl game Friday nights in Parker, CO? PM me.

Um...Stu Ungar won the WSOP in 1997 and died in 1998.

Yeah when he is talking about 1990 he just OD'd. If you remember how great Unger was he won the main event in 1997. So if he died in 90 that would be a great i suppose.

He looks terrible. Scary actually. He's lost a ton of wait and it looks like he is suffering all the symptoms of possibly crystal meth or something along those lines. He looks half dead.

Does this mean he's in a hurry all the time?..."Can't wait to get there?" kinda thing or is that Canadian for "he's broke from buying all those drugs" (wait some sort of street cred for money)...just curious.
