The Wil Espin had a crossover effect as well. Wil had just left the Tropicana when the chip was released and was playing in a tournament (ATLARGE) at the time when it was announced in the poker room that his chip was on the table. Quite a few poker players and fellow tournament players went to get one. He was sitting to my right during the stud tournament and took a lot of chips by drawing 3 cards (making it on 6th and 7th) to make his flush when I had an open pair. Not that I am bitter....
