What happened to Nest17?

If anyone finds out what happened to player "Nest17" (from Russia) on PokerStars 10'000'000 guaranteed, please let us know. He had a great chance to be the winner of 2'000'020 dollars, but no. Instead he was sitting out the longest time, finally landing on place 20 earning 22'931 dollars.
Internet problem? Power failure? Cardiac arrest? Or did he just have to go to do his daily job?
At this point no one knows the answer, but whatever the reason is, we all sure hope he is physically ok without any health issues.
In any case one thing is sure: Nest17 is now a legend.  
EDIT: 
So far there isn't any new information regarding Nest17's absence from the game.

However his story is even more amazing than what we have known.

According to PokerStars, he got himself into this megatournament by winning the ticket using ONLY 8 FP points! (You get 8,25 FPPs by playing one $16,50 MTT.) And yes, that 8 FPPs turned finally into $22'000!

Absolutely amazing story all in all.

I don't know what happened to him, but you can't exclude cardiac arrest. Hope that is not the case.

These poker sites should seriously rethink their schedules of these big tournaments! All of them start late at evening to European players and they are majority of players! What's the point? They have to play whole evening, night and long way to morning when they get to final table.

And like in this tournament 48 players in top 50 where from Europe!

Wake up PokerStars! You don't have US players anymore there, reschedule your tournaments!
