You likely won't have heard of Vince Burgio, and he won't have made too many people's chip counts, but check out his database entries and you'll see that he boasts a record longer than Mr. Tickle's arms.
With over two million in tournament winnings including a bracelet victory in 1994 and a final table finish in the Main Event of that same year, Burgio has certainly proved an ongoing presence on the scene, and must surely hold the record for consecutive years of cashes having successfully cashed every year since 1987.
Today, however, his Main Event venture has come to an abrupt end, and he'll be returning to his home state of California empty-handed. With the flop reading 
, Burgio found himself all in and in need of divine assistance with 
versus the 
of Evelyn Ng in the big blind.
The hand caused Ng to look up from her iPad, and after a blank 
turn and 
river, she took both the pot and the scalp. Burgio, meanwhile, shook Ng's hand and exited stage left, disappointed to have been unable to add a final chapter to his autobiography Pizza, Pasta and Poker: The Private & Public Life of a Professional Poker Player.
