The next hand after John Binns nearly evened the chip counts against Scott Blackman, Blackman raised from the button to 40,000, and Binns called.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of 8c7c2s10s, Binns bet 40,000, Blackman raised to 80,000, and Binns called.

The river card was the 9c, Binns checked, Blackman bet 40,000, and Binns called.

Blackman showed AcQh3s2c for an ace-high flush with an 8-7-3 low to scoop the pot, and Binns mucked.

Scott Blackman  –  820,000  (21 bb)
John Binns  –  485,000  (12 bb)

Shortly after this hand, the two players ran the numbers for a possible ICM chop, and while they didn’t agree to a deal, it gave us official chip counts:

Scott Blackman  –  882,000  (22 bb)
John Binns  –  423,000  (11 bb)
