Actually I live in Allentown and literally 15 minutes away from this kid's college, Lehigh University. I can't say that I personally know this kid, but being a college student, I know that many college kids play poker and most of them 1. Don't know how to play, 2. Most of them don't know how to manage their money, 3. Don't know when to play. In this kid's case it was all of the above.
It's sad to hear about this kid because Lehigh is a top-notch engineering university, one of the best in the country. He must have been a smart kid to get in there. He just got caught up in the hysteria that is poker.
