Wow, talk about disappointed...I've never seen anyone be that unhappy to win $700k. Still, I know where he's coming from.

once you are heads up second place money is locked up. essentially you are then playing a winner takes all for the remaining money. by finishing second, then, you get zero dollars. that, along with the fact that gobbo was a monster chip leader and outplaying everybody provides the makings for disappointment in the nth degree. hansen got hit in the face with the cards--just look at the hands he was making: flush, straight, etc. gobbo was the better player at that table and he knows it. losing feels disgusting.
impressive performance, gobbo, against seasoned pros.
