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 AK under the gun. Samuel Ju looked down at KJ and called before Jose Malpelli also joined in with Q2 in the big blind.

The action checked through on the J5J 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.
