Another Setback for Binger

It might not be Michael Binger's day. After an early hit, Binger rebuilt his stack to about the starting level. But all his work came undone after a hand that started with his raise to 450 from middle position. Two players called, including the button. Binger bet 1,200 after the flop came down {2-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

, and another 2,600 on the {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

turn. He didn't stop when the dealer produced the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

as the river card, betting another 4,500.

Binger's opponent, who had been passively calling from the button the whole way, came alive with a raise to 12,000 on the river. Binger mucked his hand, prompting Matt Stout to shout,"SHOW THE BLUFF!" Binger's opponent turned over {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

, a set of eights.
