Le Binks River

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Board: {2-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

When we looked up, Tommy Le had Duane Wellnitz all in and at risk. The hands were tabled, and looked like this:

Le: {j-Spades}{7-}
Wellnitz: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The {k-Spades} on the turn changed nothing, but the {7-Clubs} spiked on the river, forcing a groan from the crowd, and eliminating Wellnitz from the 2011 Main Event. He left the Main Feature table swiftly, but returned a few minutes later to pick up the Dearfoam slippers he'd left behind.

"Forgot my $10,000 slippers," he joked to the tournament director.
