Level 10 : 1,200/2,400, 200 ante

Darren Kennedy raised the button, and Michael Binger defended his big blind with a call.

The flop came {7-Spades} {7-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}, and both players checked through to the {2-Spades} turn. Binger decided a bet was in order now, and he made it 6,500 to play. Kennedy called.

The river {6-Diamonds} didn't look particularly scary, and Binger continued right out with another bet, 16,500. Kennedy didn't waste much time calling, and Binger confidently tabled {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts}. It was no good. Kennedy turned up {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} to outkick him, and a frustrated Binger needed a quick pep talk from brother Nick on the rail.

Binger is now down to about 52,000, giving the other 98,000 to Kennedy in this back-and-forth battle.
