| Craziest WSOP story I've ever seen  We've just received word about a rather remarkable WSOP story involving Belgian player Philip Goossens Goossens was an online qualifier who made it safely through to day three with 92,400 chips. The story that has been passed on to us, is that Goossens' package with the online poker site only extended until yesterday, and as such we would have to pay out of his own pocket to change his flights and book further accommodation to extend his stay Unfortunately Goossens couldn't afford to do that, so instead of seeking some financial assistance from perhaps some friends, family or fellow players, Goossens insted decided to head home, leaving his dead stack to fend for itself At the moment his stack is down to 58,900 and it doesn't look like it's going to survive the day.

Wow, that is unbelievable!! Anyone know what site that was? Did you not get paid upfront for the lodging and tournament? I'm confused on this one.
