Bad Loss for Goodwin
Bastian Fischer open-shoved for just over 50,000 from under the gun and Mark Goodwin flat called in middle position, only for Steven Rubinfeld to shove for 120,000 (or thereabouts) in the small blind.
As the dealer's focus returned to Goodwin, he grimaced as if tortured by the decision. With about 40,000 behind, he lifted his hands in the air, announced, "I have to go with the math (maths, if you are in the UK)," and made the call.
"I have the worst hand," he muttered dejectedly as hands were revealed.

"I had to go with the math," repeated Goodwin upon departure. "I didn't want to have to grind all over again."
