Binder First to be Eliminated
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Juan Pardo started the action with a raise from under the gun to 4,000. When play folded to Bernhard Binder in the big blind, he opted to three-bet to 15,000. Pardo didn't take too long before sliding a tower of chips into the middle, signalling a four-bet which was enough to cover Binder's remaining 68,500 stack. Binder called, and the players flipped their cards over.
Bernhard Binder: Q♠Q♥ 
Juan Pardo: A♣K♥
The classic poker flip had Pardo behind, but it didn't take long to catch up.
A K♦J♥5♣ flop saw Pardo improve to top pair, and when the dealer completed the board with the 6♥ turn and 8♦ river, there was no reprieve for Binder, who headed to the exit.
