I just finished streaming this game on Twitch and have included the highlight link below.

I had not watched it beforehand, so it was amazing to watch Ben Jos go all the way to 834,200 (21-1) on his first man. At that point he sacrifices one man on each barrel board of Level 21 by playing a standard top-hammer board, then jumping barrels by the final ladder until the fireballs come up to meet him. Had he not sacrificed or lost any men he would have been very close to Billy's 874,300 at the killscreen.

Highlights of this game also include a couple of Staal patterns and the 4-man glitch after the Level 20 pies.

"Start" score was 98,900 and the total death points were 19,900.

What a revelation to learn that Allen Staal did NOT pioneer the Staal Pattern.  :o I guess we'll need to rename it.
