Amnon Filippi got his last chips in against John Monnette in a big razz pot. By the time we got there, the cards were out of order, but Filippi had made a {j-} {10-} {5-} {4-} {3-} . It was no good against a {10-} {7-} {5-} {3-} {2-} . Filippi is back out the door almost as soon as he returned from break, and Monnette is up to 145,000.

Negreanu and Binger Spitting Words

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 13

Hold'em

A big controversy has just developed in front of the PokerNews blogging desk between Daniel Negreanu, Michael Binger and the floor staff.

The action started with a preflop raise to 6,000 only to have Michael Binger three-bet to 9,000 next to act. The blinds passed and the preflop raiser made the call before checking the {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} flop. Binger tossed out a bet of 1,500 only to have his opponent insta-raise to 3,000.

This is where the problem started.

With the limits at 3,000-6,000, Binger's bet was half the amount it should have been, and with his opponent splashing out what seemed like a raise, Tournament Director Robbie Thompson was called over to solve the dispute.

Negreanu and Binger began disputing what action should occur. Negreanu's argument was that it was the check-raisers intention to raise and therefore should be bound to a raise of 6,000 once Binger completed the full bet amount.

As Negreanu and Binger's debate became more heated, Binger spat out, "Shut your god-damn mouth! It's my tournament life that is on the line" as Negreanu argued that it could be an angle shoot betting half-bets as you could see what the intention of the other player was.

It was there that Negreanu went back into his shell as he let Thompson rule that Binger's half-bet would be made a full bet and the intention to raise would be deemed to be just a call.

"You have to throw a god-damn scene don't you!" added Binger who was a little enraged that Negreanu was getting involved in a hand that really didn't involve him.

As the dealer dealt the {5-Clubs} on the turn, Binger's opponent bet out 6,000 and Binger went into the tank for over four minutes as he had just 18,000 in chips remaining.

"I wanna know what's going to happen when the hand is over?" asked Binger to Thompson.

"If I've gotta take a penalty and blind out, it is going to change the whole hand." continued Binger.

"There will be no penalty, just a warning" answered Thompson.

Another minute went by before Binger angled his cards at the muck.

"I'm sorry!" stated Negreanu to Binger as both players shook hands.

"It was just clear cut to me!" returned Binger.

"Wasn't clean to me" jibbed Negreanu.

"Are we good here?" asked Thompson as both players nodded.

"Just throw them out to be safe!" arked one player on the table.

Binger Doubles

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 13

On the direct hand after Michael Binger and Daniel Negreanu got in a heated argument, Binger has found an ironic double through the Canadian.

Hold'em

Binger opened to 6,000 from the cutoff only to have Negreanu three-bet to 9,000 from the button. Binger called before check-raising the {K-Hearts} {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} flop with Negreanu making the call as the {6-Clubs} landed on the turn. Binger moved his last 6,000 into the pot and Negreanu made the call.

Binger: {2-Clubs} {2-Spades}
Negreanu: {A-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

The river landed the {7-Spades} and Binger doubled through to 45,000 as Negreanu slipped to roughly 35,000 in chips.

Stud-8

Alleman: (X)(X) / {4-Clubs} {9-Spades} {q-Spades} {q-Diamonds} / (X)
South: (X)(X) / {10-Hearts} {7-Spades} {5-Spades} {3-Spades} / (X)

On seventh street, Anton Allemann bet 6,000 Cole South raised to 12,000 and Allemann re-raised to 18,000. South thought for a couple of minutes but finally put out the last 6,000 and Allemann announced "Queens Full" and showed {q-} {9-} {j-} for queens full of nines. Cole instantly mucked and fell down to just 20,000. Allemann broke the six-figure mark after the hand and is up to 100,000.
