Michael Binger has entered the Amazon Room to rail his brother Nick at Table 369.
The masses may know Michael better because of his Main Event final table appearance in 2006, but Nick's quite the player with $1,570,400 in live winnings to his name.
Nick already has a final table under his belt at this year's World Series, finishing 3rd for $37,857 in Event #14: $1,500 2-7 Draw Lowball.

We almost had a monster pot over on Table 374.
Scott Montgomery opened to 10,000, Quinn Do called and the action folded to Thomas Redfern who raised to 42,000. Montgomery tanked before folding and Do followed.
"If I call you also call, right?" Montgomery asked Do.
"Yeah," Do answered.
Montgomery was very close to calling and it would have resulted in a three-way, 130,000 chip pot preflop.
Wowzers.
Seat 1: Cory Albertson - 185,000
Seat 2: Young Phan - 110,000
Seat 3: Jonathan Swick - 100,000
Seat 5: Michael Mixer - 55,000
Seat 6: Ashkan Razavi - 60,000
Seat 7: Michael Vierheller - 55,000
Seat 8: Tyler Patterson -- 115,000
With the board reading 
, Quinn Do was all in and at risk against Peter Costa.
Do tabled 
and was temporarily behind Costa's 
.
The 
on the turn was a great sweat because it gave Do the lead but Costa picked up redraws.
The 
on the river only improved Do's hand though, doubling him to 69,000 chips. Costa is still strong, he's got 140,000 chips to his name.
As if the recipient of a Mike Tyson jab/uppercut combo, two players have been floored by the hands of Charles Alexandre Sylvestre. The double K.O. began on a 
flop, Khalil Abujawdeh pushing all in for 29,000 and being called by Sylvestre. Out of the blue, Kazuhito Oshima jumped into the ring and shoved over the top. Again, Sylvestre made the call leading to a three-way dance:
Sylvestre: 
Abujawdeh: 
Oshima: 
With three breaths simultaneously held, the dealer reached for the deck...
Turn: 
Sylvestre spiked two pair! Only the river remained...
River: 
As Abujawdeh and Oshima headed back to the dressing room, Sylvestre scooped in a gargantuan pot and is now right up there contending for the chip lead with 220,000.
Ding. Next round.

Jordan Morgan has been snipered down; Chris Hyong was the assassin. Morgan sang his swan song with 
, but was unable to topple Hyong's 
on a subsequent 
board.
Six-time bracelet winner Jay Heimowitz has been eliminated from today's event. Jeffrey Coddington did the deed, and after adding Heimowitz's chips he sits with 105,000.
According to our sources, Heimowitz has only missed one out of thirty six World Series, and that was because his wife was involved in a car accident, so my spider senses inform me that we may be seeing him again next year.
