rivered.
"Sugar Bear" tabled 
for the running three kings, and Binger sent his cards to the muck. These two aren't afraid to play pots against each other, and the last two rounds have gone to Barbieri. He's up to 61,000, surpassing Binger's 48,500 with that pot.

, and Michael Binger three-bet it back to him. Barbieri called, and the flop came out . Barbieri called a bet to leave himself just two big bets left going to the turn. Binger fired again, and Barbieri called again, and the filled out the board.
Binger fired one last bullet, and Barbieri said, "I have to put you on an underpair. I've been in this spot too many times." With that, he plunked his final 3,000 chips into the pot, relying on his queen kicker for his tournament life.
He was right. Binger flashed pocket fives as he was playing the board by the time the river rolled around, and Barbieri's good read earns him a double up to about 25,000. After the hand, "Sugar Bear" stood up behind his chair and started shadow boxing and hopping around his table like it was a training ring. "Come on, baby!" he yelled. "Pound for pound, the best."
