What really squeezes the lemon juice on the paper cut of defeat is this story Jeff Buffenbarger told a few places off the bubble. He was chatting away with the table, like he always does, and mentioned his bubble experience in the $3k pot-limit event in Vegas in the summer. He said that when he went out, the whole room erupted in cheering and high-fiving, and his table being at the back of the room, he'd had to do the very long Walk of Shame past loads of celebrating players. He said that sucked. At least here, a polite clap drowned out the cheering.
