Goossens Gone
Actually, Philip Goossens has been gone for a while now.
You might have heard Goosens' story from Day 3. An online qualifier, Goosens had made it to the third day of play with an above average stack of 92,400.
As we reported yesterday, the word was the package he'd won only covered expenses through last weekend, which meant Goossens was looking at paying out of pocket if he wanted to stick around any further.
Deciding against doing so, Goossens headed back to Belgium on his scheduled flight. His stack actually survived the day yesterday, with just 4,400 left when play concluded. It only took an orbit today for Goossens finally to be eliminated. No cash, but he did outlast over 6,000 players without even playing beyond Day 2.
