You always hear about this it seems now. Heard the story just recently where a player that someone bought in the calcuttas for the tune of 1500 or so for both didn't want half of it and quit after he lost his first match to go play a money game elsewhere leaving the guy rather stuck.
I've heard more good things than bad about Gabe I don't know him personally, hopefully he got ill or had some sort of family emergency and everything is alright....Rather than hearing he just quit because he lost a match.
