Football coach Vince Lombardi once said, "There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place." He was talking about his own beloved sport, but the same can be said for poker, where second place can still amount to a lot of money, but only the winner seems to pick up the fame to go along with it.

That was what Paul Wasicka was facing when he came in second in the 2006 World Series of Poker. Sure...
