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 to Binger's . The flop came a spiky , and the turn and river no help ( ). 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.
