Anyone of us would have loved to be in Chris's shoes! His 2.5 in winnings may be low, (if there not gone already) but think of the opportunitys that have risen because of that fortunate tournament. He signs autograghs everyday, and must be approached by all kinds of business ventures. He was lucky yes, as lucky as winning the lottery! Ride the wave Chris! Take advantage of the day. For being an amature, you sure had a cool head on your shoulders. So many people were rooting for the guy, that had the long shot. And you hit it! Strike while the iron is hot! If they want to pay you to put your face on the "Wheaties" box, do it! You were so good at playing cool with your poker face, that nobody knew that you didn't know it was your turn to call or raise, that one time early on in the tournament. Johnny Chan finally said, "Do you know it's your turn"? That was hilarius!! When you looked at the replay, you could almost see you being lost in thought about where you were, and how in the hell did you get there! It's too bad the name. "Chris Rock" is already taken, because that suits you perfect. You have a wonderful Father as well. He must be proud, but you know he's as shocked as you, that eveything happened so fast. You don't have to look very far to see, hear or remember a depresssing situation that has affected someone you know to an extent. But this is truly a feel-good story that has possibilities for a happy ending to keep happening over and over! Yes! Everyone would love to be in your shoes. It couldn't have happened to a nicer individual. Poker is part skill and part luck, all the tumblers lined up for you that week buddy! If you get struck by lightning, I mean, if you win another WSOP, you will see a whole lotta mouths agape. Come on, win another one for the Gipper!!
