Binger Bluff

[user76023]

Adam Junglen makes it 200 to play and another player calls before Michael Mizrachi reraises to 900 from the small blind. Michael Binger calls, as does Junglen and the fourth player.

The flop comes {7-Hearts}

and Mizrachi checks, Binger bets 1,800 and it's folded back to Mizrachi who takes about a minute before folding. Binger shows {A-Clubs}

for nothing at all.

Top Set No Good for Graham

[user67765]

In a limped pot on a flop of {10-Hearts}

, the action was with Daniel "amichaiKK" Makowsky who checked to Matt Graham. Graham fired out 425. John Duthie then announced a raise to 1,550, which Makowsky called.

The action was then back with Graham, who put in another raise, making it 5,050 to go. Duthie got out of the way and Makowsky decided to move all in. Graham called and the cards were tabled.

Graham: {10-Diamonds}

Makowsky:

Makowsky tabled queens with a straight draw, but Graham was in front with his top set of tens. The turn bricked the {2-Hearts}

but the river was the {8-Clubs}

to give Makowsky the straight and the pot.

Makowsky is up to 18,000 with Graham at 13,000. However, both players still have their two red rebuy chips safely in hand.

It's Dinner Break in the Limit Event

[user67765]

It's the dinner break in the $2,000 Limit Hold'em Event. How can we tell? Well, the multi-tabling fun of Daniel Negreanu has just started as he's passed up a quiet meal to run over and join today's PLO event. He has one hour to run amok and build his stack up before he has to head back.

[user76023]

The reigning champion of this event, Marty Smyth is another player recently spotted. Smyth is no doubt looking to defend his title but has a tough table draw including WSOPE PLO bracelet winner Dario Alioto.
