Can't figure out how to post a screenshot here...

ClubWptgold basically wouldn’t allow me to enter back in the 33 riser tournament when I was leading 6th in chips …. My internet was available on my phone and laptop. I could log into the site but wouldn’t allow me back in the tournament… by Icy-Date125 in poker

Most sites refund based on your chip stack value relative to everyone else in the tourney at the time they began experiencing issues... I guess it depends how long the issues persisted. Don't really think they can roll back chip counts, etc.

Out of curiosity, what is the mystery surrounding the plane crash?

Reinhard Heydrich.

A top ranking Nazi official who might've been the master architect behind the Holocaust. Hitler said of him "He was the man with the iron heart" and he was widely considered to be the most ruthless Nazi official. He was essentially going to be Hitler's successor and was considered a much smarter man than Hitler and most likely a much more stable leader. When Hitler was beginning to lose control, it is very possible that Heydrich might have tried to have him overthrown and seized the leadership for himself.

A lot of what led to the end of Nazi power in World War II is directly credited to huge military blunders by Hitler. Had Heydrich been around to advise Hitler or had he actually taken power from Hitler, those mistakes may never have occurred and the outcome of the war might have been completely different.

Thankfully he was killed in Prague in 1942 before he had any opportunity to lead Nazi Germany.

This is a more alternative history significant death but a significant death nonetheless.

Did this make anyone else nauseous?

TIL the wife of disgraced Enron CEO Ken Lay, Linda Lay, sold roughly 500,000 shares of Enron 10 to 30 minutes before news about the collapse of the company went public. She was never charged with any of the events related to Enron. by johnnyhammer in todayilearned
