Well thats unfortunate! I like the explanation given, blaming his "eye disease" for the mishap. It might be even worse to be the guy who was going to buy it because he clearly wanted it, agreeing to pay around 4 times what Wynn had paid for it, but now it has a hole in it. It probably tears him up to see that.
