Frank Gary All In

[user66118]

No-Limit Hold'em:

Opening from the button, Frank Gary puts in a raise to 8,000. Nick Binger is in the small blind, and he reraises to 25,000. Gary shoves for a total of 31,000 and Binger quickly calls. The hands are turned over:

Gary: {A-Clubs}

Binger:

The board runs out {2-Clubs}

. The runner-runner clubs on fourth and fifth streets make Gary the winning ace-high flush, and provide him with the stay of execution he needs. He survives his all in and is up to the somewhat-healthy range with 64,000 chips.

Peter Rho Eliminated in 22nd Place ($5,688)

[user66118]

No-Limit Hold'em:

In middle position, big stack Nick Binger comes in raising to 5,500. Action passes to the button where Peter Rho shoves all in for about 20,000. Binger makes the call. His {J-Diamonds}

is live against Rho's {K-Diamonds}

.

Live cards are always nice when they hit the board. The dealer deals out {2-Clubs}

. Binger's pair of eights does the job, taking down the pot and sending Peter Rho to the cashier.

Ricky Sanders Eliminated in 21st Place ($5,688)

[user66118]

No-Limit Hold'em:

Though the specific details of the betting are unclear, we do know that Ricky Sanders picked a bad time to get his money in. He held {K-?}

, and he and Mats Gavatin went at it, getting all their money in. Sanders held the second best hand, but Gavatin could do better than that. He tabled {A-?}

, and was in control of Sanders' fate.

The board provided no help for Ricky Sanders, and he is knocked out after finding himself in a very unlucky spot.

No-Limit Hold'em:

Action folded around to the small blind, Nick Binger, who raised to 7,000. Klein Bach called from the big blind. Both these players had very deep stacks of over 150,000 each.

The flop came {9-Clubs}

and Binger led out for 13,500. Bach called. The turn was the {5-Diamonds}

and Binger checked. Bach bet a tall stack of orange chips totaling 20,000. Binger matched it.

The river was the {8-Hearts}

and Binger led out for 22,000. Bach tanked for a few minutes before folding and sending the massive pot Binger's way.

Binger is now up to 334,000 and a big chip leader in the tournament with just 20 players left. Bach is down to 110,000.
