Binder Loses Chip Lead
Level 29
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Picking up another premium, Bernhard Binder raised to 200,000 with A♥K♠ under the gun. Samuel Ju looked down at K♦J♦ and called before Jose Malpelli also joined in with Q♣2♣ in the big blind.
The action checked through on the J♣5♠J♥ flop, seeing the dealer provide the 10♥ turn card.
When Malpelli checked for a second time, Binder took the opportunity to bet 400,000. Ju raised to 800,000, which quickly received folds from both players.
As a result, Binder relinquished his chip lead for the first time since the beginning of Day 5.
