What would you do if you lost 200k and that was all you had?

I will change some of the info and names to make it not so obvious as to who the people are but this is one of the funnier stories (I am not sure if funny is the right word really) I have heard in a while. 

Two guys had basically been playing one account on Full Tilt and agreed that they would not take any out except for living and traveling expenses.  They also decided that they would travel the circuit playing tournaments and then playing online, which brought them to the Borgata.  Both of them had run well and their account was at 200k.  I am not going to bore you with the details because everyone knows what is coming.  They thought they found a soft spot in the 300-600 game playing limit poker.  Within 24 hours their account was dead bust.

This is where the story gets interesting maybe ironic (ok, funny really is a bad choice), the way the scene is described is almost like the end of a good war scene.  Fog everywhere, people walking around muttering wondering what just happened, that type of scene.  It was pretty clear that was all these kids had to the world.  At one point the bigger kid starts getting real angry and upset, his face turned a color of red (this is what I was told) faces shouldn’t turn.  At that point there was no reason in his mind.  If you have never been to the Borgata it is all glass, in his rage he ran at the glass as hard as he could trying to jump out (OK, now I feel like a bit of an ass for thinking it was funny).  As he hit the glass his head hit first and since he was not the first destitute gambler to think of this particular way to die he bounced off of the glass knocking himself out cold.
