Big River for Binger

Shamus

Nick Binger opened with a raise to 3,400 from the cutoff, Tomer Benvenisti called from the button, then Michael Michnik raised to 13,400 from the big blind. Binger reraised to 31,300, Benvenisti folded, then after a pause Michnik announced he was all in. A count revealed it would take just under 65,000 more for Binger to call.

Binger thought for three minutes, then finally made the call. He turned over {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Clubs}

, but shook his head when he saw Michnick's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Clubs}

.

The flop was {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

. The turn brought the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

. Then, BOOM -- the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

on the river, and Michnick is out.

The table was still wide-eyed and chatting about it for the lengthy time it took Binger to stack his chips. Binger is up to 340,000 now.
