Binger Binks a Double

Nick Binger has more than doubled-up after he four-bet all-in from the small blind.

Bryan Devonshire opened from the cut-off and was three-bet by the button before Binger shoved from the small blind. Devonshire folded but the button called.

Both drew one and the cards were on their backs. Binger opened {7-}{6-}{5-}{2-} and drew a {10-}. His opponent also had a seven-draw but drew a {q-}.

Terrence Chan Busto

As we walked up to Terrence Chan's table we saw a 775 bet out in front of a player. The action was on Terrence Chan who opted to move all in for 1,725 more.

Chan's opponent wasn't happy with this move, but after a couple of seconds he decided to 'gamble'.

Chan drew one card and his opponent said, "Well that makes me a lot happier!" as he draw one card as well.

Since Chan was all in both players turned their draws up and we got to see the following hands.

Terrence Chan{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-}
Opponent{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}

Chan was out of position and received the {A-Spades} and needed his opponent to pair up in order to stay alive. He didn't and caught the {J-Clubs}.

Smith Grinds a Double

Dan Smith raised to 600 from under the gun and was called by the small blind before Michael Mizrachi three-bet to 3,000 out of the big blind.

Smith and the big blind called before all three drew one card. The small blind checked and Mizrachi went to go to his stack when Smith piped up, "20-75."

"20-75?" responded Mizrachi. he then paused for a moment before going back to his stack where he picked up, and threw, 2,100 in to the pot.

Smith was getting great odds on the call, but he probably knew that Mizrachi knew that. After a minute he called and the small blind folded.

"Pair," said a defeated sounding Mizrachi.

Smith fanned out {j-}{5-}{8-}{4-}{3-} and took the lot.
