I have heard similar stories involving Tom Dwan. I have heard that he has disconnected while flying, and lost over that amount.

I would have taking the batteries out, switched the order and put them back in. This will give you at least 30 seconds of battery power.

I've gotten killed by a couple network timeouts...but then again, I've also gotten saved on a couple occasions when I would have been sucked out on or w/e.

i've been in similar situations and shitty as it is, it really isn't that big of a deal. a player should be able to recover and exceed a minor inconvenience, regardless of the stakes and circumstances.

I have a story kinda like that. I was on an army base and had to but a wifi card cause the base had firewalled all the poker sites. I came in 2nd in a PS 11 rebuy the night before for a great cash. So here I am the very next night in another 2700 + field 265 left I am in 45th place. Then all of a sudden my wifi connection stops working. I found out the next day it was faulty software for the wifi card, but it cost me huge money. I ended up blinding out for around 275.00. I was trying to go BTB final tables in the same event. Needless to say I was super pissed.

Use a keyboard is only advice here. Or make sure you have batteries or mouse with a wire before the start of such a high-staked game. Silly situation
