Binger Takes a Chunk

In his heads-up match, Ralph Shannon had the button and he opened with a raise to 5,000. Nick Binger came back with a second raise, making it 22,000 straight. Shannon wasn't deterred though, re-reraising to 55,000. Binger wanted to show it down, five-betting all in over the top, just slightly covering his opponent.

Shannon considered his options carefully before getting rid of his hand and choosing to battle it out in a better spot.

Binger - 290,000
Shannon - 160,000
