Nick Binger Eliminated in 3rd Place ($84,814)

Nick Binger - 3rd Place
Nick Binger - 3rd Place
Limit Hold'em:

Frank Gary has the button and folds. Nick Binger raises from the small blind and Jonathan Tamayo reraises out of the big blind. Binger reraises, making it four bets. Tamayo caps the action and Binger calls.

The flop is {2-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} and Binger and Tamayo get all in for Binger's last 69,000.

Binger: {3-Spades} {3-Diamonds}
Tamayo: {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}

The turn is the {10-Clubs} and Binger will need a three on the river to stay alive. As the railbirds cheer for a three to pop off, the river is the {J-Spades} and Binger is eliminated in third place. He'll earn almost $85,000 for his efforts.

As he exits, Binger makes his way over to his group of friends and mentions that he really wanted first place. His friends hand him a glass of freshly-poured champagne and congratulate him anyway. He smiles and moves on to his interview.
