Binger Binked On

Bink and you miss him
Bink and you miss him
20th place was a wincer - I caught the hand the preflop where Ilari Sahamies was considering calling Michael Binger's considerable four-bet shove (c.60k into a pot of around that already, blue 5k chips littering the table). He thought for a long time, the table's interest waned, but suddenly perked up again when he made the call. He showed {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} to Binger's {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} . The flop came a spiky {4-Spades} {2-Clubs} {J-Clubs} , and the turn and river no help ({9-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} ). Binger, whom I haven't heard say a word all day, let one expletive slip quietly, and picked up his backpack in the angriest fashion imaginable before striding off.

Ilari stacked the chips without celebration or reaction.
