A Nick Binger Story by Nick Binger

Nick Binger has had a pretty healthy stack through out the day and we were shocked to find him sitting with 2,500 when we all went for dinner break. He came over to us asking if we happened to catch why he was so low, we told him no, and he was nice enough to give us the story.

Apparently Binger raised from the cut off and made it 7,000 and when the action got back to Emil Patel in the Big Blind he made it 15,200, Binger called and both players were awarded a flop.

On a flop of {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}{4-Diamonds} Patel checked, and Binger fired out 12,300, Patel immediately bet pot and after a raise from Binger Patel was all in. Binger only had 2500 more than Patel, so both players were essentially at risk. Cards were flipped and Patel held {A-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-}{4-} for a naked flush draw, Binger as he says it held {J-Spades}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a set of tens and a straight flush draw.

The turn was a blank (Binger didn't inform us what the turn was), but the river was a {7-Spades}, giving Patel the flush and the pot.
