Binger Tank-Folds To Griffin

Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha

Michael Binger called from the hijack and Ashton Griffin raised to 3,600 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Binger and he called, landing a {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop to the board.

Binger check-called 7,500 to see the {10-Diamonds} turn and followed that by check-calling 13,500 to see the {9-Diamonds} river. He checked once again and was faced with a bet of 38,500 from Griffin. Binger tanked for a good four minutes, but ultimately opted to give it up, slipping to about 90,000. Griffin upped his stack to about 225,000.
