Level 1 : 25/25, 0 ante

On a | | board we saw Nick Binger carefully check from the big blind. Binger acted out of the under-the-gun position and his opponent was sitting on the button. Binger saw that 800 was asked of him as his opponent had tossed in a 500 and three 100 chips. Binger quickly called but those chips he would not see back anytime soon. His opponent tabled for top pair and top kicker and Binger had to muck.
