Level 9
: 400/800, 100 ante
MSPT Player of the Year contender Mark Hodge made it 1,800 from the cutoff and the button called.
The player in the small blind then shipped it short for 11,100 total. Hodge called, but after a minute to think, the button folded.
Hodge: 
Small Blind: 
The flop came down 
and the button immediately started screaming he'd folded pocket fours. The story got worse for him when the 
turn was revealed, a card that would have given him quads.
Finally , the 
river ended things, with Hodge felting the small blind to climb up to a high-water mark of 45,000 on the day and the button bemoaning his bad luck.
