Typical Party suck out... nothing you can do.

btw, did the button accumulate that big stack with a couple of hands similar to this?

[hummusx]

Yes. Amazingly, he was playing with crap constantly, and sucking out every single hand. It was uncanny really, he eliminated every person in the tournament. I stuck around and watched, and by the time it was over he had single-handedly eliminated every other player in the tournament. He was pretty high on himself.

Add his name to your buddy list and join every room and SnG that he enters.

You just have to keep reminding yourself that his money will be yours "in the long run".
