Binger Rakes a Big One

Micheal Binger
Micheal Binger
Picked up from the flop of {9-Hearts} {2-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}: Preston Derden in the big blind, Bill Bostick in middle position, and Micheal Binger on the button. All checked around, producing a turn card in the form of the {7-Diamonds}. There would be no checks this time as Derden initiated the action by opening for 14,000. A call from both players led to the river, {K-Diamonds}. The action cautiously checked around to Binger, who took advantage and bet 30,000. A call from Derden was followed by Bostick bowing out. Binger showed {J-Clubs} {10-Hearts} for the straight to the king, which bested Derden's {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs}.

A lot of chips were pushed to Binger, and the counts after the hand were:

Micheal Binger - 318,000
Preston Derden - 38,000
Bill Bostick - 137,000
