Schleger Takes a Bite Out of Binger

[user75032]

We passed by Shane Schleger's table and noticed that Schleger had opened a pot to 3,100 preflop from middle position. Action passed to a hoodie-clad Nick Binger in the small blind. He reraised to 9,000 and was called by Schleger.

Both players checked a flop that came down {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{4-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

. Binger led the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

turn for 10,500. After confirming the amount of the bet, Schleger called to the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

river, which again both players checked.

"Ace-high," announced Binger.

"Queen," said Schleger. Neither player opened his hand, prompting Schleger to add, "I'm gonna wait for you to show it or muck -- but I'm not lying." Binger finally showed {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{j-Spades}

, with Schleger's {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

two pair taking down the pot.
