“I’ll have two fives please,” said Marius Ignat as the cards were turned over in what would be his final preflop showdown against Gerard Walsh.
Ignat: Kc 5c
Walsh: Kh Jc
Board: 2d Th 9c 4s Ac, containing a total on no fives and not enough clubs to make a difference.
Ignat took it well, as his hat suggested he would. “Have a nice one,” he called breezily as he departed to collect his revised five-way-ICM-minus-10% payout.
