Binder Takes the Lead
Level 40
: Blinds 8,000,000/16,000,000, 16,000,000 ante
Bernhard Binder limped with J♥2♣ on the button, and Jean-Noel Thorel checked his option with 10♣8♦ in the big blind.
Both players checked the 10♥7♥J♦ flop, and Thorel led out for 25,000,000 on the 3♦ turn. Binder called, and the K♣ river was turned over.
Thorel checked to Binder, who took his time before betting 65,000,000. Thorel took another look at his cards before tossing in the call, seeing that his tens were no good against Binder's pair of jacks.
