Midwest Regional Champion Anderson Eliminated by Binger

Jim Anderson (Day 1a)
Jim Anderson (Day 1a)

The champion of the first-ever WSOP Circuit $10,000 Regional Championship event has just hit the rail. Jim Anderson won the event last month in Hammond, Indiana, but he won't be winning this NAPT Main Event here in Los Angeles. The player who did the deed was Michael Binger.

On the flop of {Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Anderson check-raised Binger's bet of 5,600 to 15,900. Binger then reraised to put Anderson all in for his last 25,000 or so and Anderson called.

Binger held a flush draw with the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Anderson the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for top pair. The turn brought the eliminating blow to Anderson when the {7-Hearts} fell and gave Binger an unbeatable flush. The river completed the board with the {J-Spades}.

Anderson packed up his things and left the room while Binger stacked up the chips and moved to 224,000.
