Binger Thought it Was a Bad Beat

Micheal Binger made the action 23,000 to go before Stewart decided to come along. The flop came {J-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {6-Hearts}, and was checked over to Binger. Binger bet 25,000 and Stewart called. The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} and a check from Stewart, followed by a bet of 55,000 from Binger. The river brought the {6-Clubs} and both players checked. Binger remarked, "I just took the worst beat I've seen." He showed his {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds} for a flopped set and was surprised to take it down as Stewart mucked.

Chip counts after the hand:

Micheal Binger 550,000
Ty Stewart 1,150,000
