Binger:
Opponent:
Another player at the table informed Binger that he folded two sixes so he was drawing pretty thin to scoop. It didn't matter though, as his opponent made a flush on the board.
Binger was down to his last 9,000 in chips and tossed in his last two add-in chips saying "I'm ready to gamble for the next seven minutes!"
The cutoff raised to 700, and Josh Arieh called on the button. Then from the small blind, Peter Jetten potted to 3,900. The original raiser folded, and after a few minutes, Arieh called.

The players are now on a 60-minute dinner break. All remaining rebuy chips must be cashed in now for 7,500 a piece, so the stacks (and stomachs) should swell over the next few minutes.
Vanessa Selbst and Brett Richey didn't wait around to ramp up the after dinner action. They got all the money in the middle (more than 100 big blinds apiece) on a flop.
Selbst: for aces, bottom pair, and a gutshot
Richey: for a big straight draw and eights
The turn and river kept Selbst in the lead. When the stacks were counted down, she had been all in for 36,850. Richey was left with 1,200 after doubling her up to around 78,000. Watch out, guys. Selbst with chips is extremely dangerous.
Catching the action on the river on a board of we saw John Duthie raise his opponent's bet of 8,000 to make it 18,000 to go. However his opponent responded by moving all in.
It was around 12,000 more, and that was about the size of Duthie's stack but he decided to let it go.
