Add to Magriel, Subtract from Binger

Michael Binger and Paul Magriel have been engaged in a lengthy discussion ever since their table began today. We aren't sure what the discussion is about exactly, but we heard something about a "point-four differential" and Binger had his iPhone out to help with the calculations in order to clarify the matter.

We were able to follow the poker hand the two just played, however.

Binger raised from the button to 3,300, Magriel reraised all in for 25,000 from the big blind, and Binger called. Magriel showed {10-Spades}{9-Spades} and Binger {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

The flop was {9-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}, giving both a pair. The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, giving Magriel trips. The river was the {4-Diamonds}, and Magriel took the hand.

Magriel is up to 50,000 on that one and Binger down to 10,000. (We counted using our fingers.)
