I remember watching the WCOOP final table and Barryg was commentating and Barry made the comment that pro players have all gone busto at some point due to investing money and not leaving themselves enough cushion. Jordan (Panella86 then) replied in chat he would never go busto. Said he was drinking and linked everyone to procappers.com. Said you couldn't lose with them.

Good luck to him.. He's accomplished more in poker than I ever will. I respect him for taking a regular job.

When Jordan told her he wanted to drop out of Marple Newtown High in 11th grade -- "I hate the regimentation. I hate having to wake up for class. I hate being told what to do." -- she let him. Pagona says she didn't want her son to think of himself as a failure.

Jordan played night and day, and quickly blew the 50 grand.
