Richard Brodie Wins a Huge Pot from Michael Binger

Michael Binger raised from under the gun and Richard Brodie called from the small blind and John Hennigan from the big. The flop came {5-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}, Brodie led out, Hennigan called, and Binger raised. Brodie called and Hennigan folded and the two saw the {9-Spades} come on the turn. Brodie bet, Binger raised, Brodie three-bet and Binger capped it.

On the turn the {K-Spades} fell, Brodie checked and Binger bet. Brodie then check-raised and Binger made the call. Brodie turned over {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} for the set on the river and when Binger slapped his cards down on the felt it sure looked like he held pocket fives. Meaning he'd flopped a full house and Brodie hit his two-outer on the river. Brodie now sits with 43,000 while Binger was crippled and now has just 6,000.
