Ben Wilinofsky, vinnare EPT Berlin 2011
"At my very first EPT, I registered for a €500 1rebuy sattelite. I paid my buy-in online but I scrambled to find the rebuy, which had to be paid in cash. Some Swedish guy, who I had broken bread with the day before, but never really met, lent me, an unknown satty winner, 500 euro. It was an act of kindness, generosity, and stupidity that I hope he never repeated with random dolts he had just met again. I would see him on tour now and again, and a couple of years later, we made a final table together. He came fourth, in his third FT of the season, and I won. I thought I was hot shit and joked about him not being able to close. I was not hot shit. Turns out he can close."
