Just a Quick Break

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 0 ante

The two men have stepped away from the table to talk a little business, and that's pretty normal.

But there's something a bit abnormal going on, too. The rail has just been completely cleared of spectators as the Main Event finishes bagging up on the other side of the room. There's practically nobody left in here. The two men are talking numbers right now on one side of the stage, and other than that, the room is completely vacant apart from a few members of the floor staff and one dealer at each table. Oh, and us.

After the elimination of Bryce Yockey in third place, we overheard a comment on the rail. It was Michael Binger offering some words of encouragement to his brother: "You've now gone further than any Binger," he said. It's odd timing, too. We were just thinking about the 2008 event in which Nick Binger spoiled a massive chip lead to finish in third place, and he's now bested that previous-best finish by one.
