Hey, Jude!

Level 5 : 400/800, 100 ante

Jude Ainsworth has just finished off Matthew Jarvis to advance to round two.

Jarvis raised the button with {10-Hearts} {J-Hearts}, and Ainsworth three-bet him with {A-Spades} {9-Spades}. Jarvis called, and the flop came {3-Spades} {J-Spades} {6-Spades}. Bingo for Ainsworth. He bet and Jarvis called, and Ainsworth bet again after the {Q-Hearts} turn. Jarvis shoved drawing dead, and the river {6-Hearts} has finished that match off.

We'll see Ainsworth tomorrow as well.

Binger Collects Four Bounties on Way to Round 2

Level 5 : 400/800, 100 ante

Todd Terry moved all in for his last 12,500 with {A-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and was called by the {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} of Nick Binger. The {10-Spades}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop gave Terry a pair but also supplied Binger with a set. Terry was left drawing dead when the {7-Diamonds} hit the turn and shook Binger's hand. The {8-Spades} was put out on the river for good measure as Binger, who collected four bounties, advanced to Round 2.

The Brothers Binger

Level 5 : 400/800, 100 ante

Michael and Nick Binger share the same last name, they drew adjacent tables, and they're both currently heads up for a spot in Day 2. That's where the similarities end, however.

Nick is heads up with Todd Terry, and he has just about 120,000 chips of the 150,000 on the table. In the few hands we watched, Binger was really putting the pressure on the short-stacked Terry with big raises and shoves.

Michael, on the other hand, is heads up with Darren Kennedy, and things aren't going so well for him. Michael's stack has just 18,000 chips left in it, and his seat was vacant as we walked by. Kennedy told us Binger needed a quick break, and we see that the two men have now resumed their duel. It may be a short one.

Raymer Can't Win Race

Level 5 : 400/800, 100 ante

Nick Binger raised to 2,000 under the gun only to have PokerStars Team Pro (USA) Greg Raymer move all in from the big blind for around 21,000. Binger called and the cards were turned up:

Binger: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Raymer: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}

It was off to the races, but the {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{A-Diamonds} gave Binger a hammerlock on the hand. The {3-Spades} on the turn changed nothing and Raymer needed a ten on the river to stay alive. It was not meant to be however as the {4-Spades} appeared. Raymer was eliminated from the tournament while Binger increased his chip lead at the table.
