Nick Binger raises from the button to 25,000. Jonathan Tamayo reraises from the small blind to 80,000. Frank Gary thinks for a minute before folding. Binger makes the call.

Tamayo - 379,000
Jonathan Tamayo is not backing down from mega-stacked Nick Binger though. While Frank Gary is sitting tight and quiet, it is apparent that Tamayo is more than willing to get into pots with the leader. More than half of the time Binger raises, Tamayo is right there calling, regardless of the position. We'll have to wait and see how it works out for Tamayo as he continues to tangle with Binger.
The two groups have been tossing some friendly banter and taunts back and forth the entire time, but it has been getting rowdier as the drinks keep flowing. If Tamayo and Binger get to play heads up, this should be a good one. Frank Gary may have something to say about that though.
Chris Rentes moves all in for 50,000 from the small blind and Nick Binger calls with his big stack.
