Binger Busto

2-7 No-Limit Single Draw

Michael Binger has two cashes so far at this year's World Series of Poker, but he won't be adding another today. Binger just moved all in under the gun for his final 3,300 chips and Brett Richey called on the button. Dustin Bierma gave it some thought from the big blind and he called.

Bierma stood pat, and Binger showed frustration as he drew two cards. Richey took one card and the action was on Bierma.

Bierma checked and Richey checked behind.

Bierma turned over {10-}{8-}{5-}{4-}{2-} and beat Binger's {K-}{9-}{8-}{4-}{3-}. Binger left the tournament as we noticed that Richey's doing really well and is closing on the 100,000-chip mark.

Dovzhenko and Heimiller Bust

NL 2-7 Single Draw

Dan Heimiller was all in before the draw, and Damon Sandor and David Burn had him at risk. Heimiller was the first to draw, and tanked for quite some time. Finally, he drew two, Sandor drew one, and Burn drew one. Both Sandor and Burn checked.

"Pair," Burn said, tabling {8-}{5-}{2-}{4-}{4-}.

Sandor paired as well, tabling {10-}{8-}{3-}{2-}{2-}.

"I'm alive!" Heimiller said excitedly.

He turned over {10-}{8-}{5-}, but he also made a pair, turning over another {5-}, eliminating him from the tournament.

"Shit!" Heimiller exclaimed after the hand. "I should've stayed pat."

On an adjacent table, Maria Ho knocked out Alex Dovzhenko in No-Limit Single Draw. Ho had a jack-ten, and Dovzhenko mucked his hand.

Brown's Snowing Fails

Badugi

Vincent van der Fluit raised under the gun to 3,000 and Vanessa Selbst was next to act. After tanking for quite some time she gave up her hand, and only Chad Brown called on the button.

Van der Fluit took another look at his cards and drew two. Brown took one and Van der Fluit checked dark.

Brown threw out 1,500 and Van der Fluit called.

On the second draw Van der Fluit needed two again, and Brown took one. Van der Fluit checked to Brown who ficked out 3,000. Van der Fluit raised to 6,000 and Brown re-popped it to 9,000 right away. Van der Fluit called.

On the final draw Van der Fluit took one card again and checked to Brown who stood pat. Brown bet 3,000 and the Dutchman snapped him off.

"Incomplete," Brown said as he showed his {A-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs} three-card hand. Van der Fluit turned over his {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}. Van der Fluit had the best three-card hand and took down this big pot.

Chad Brown: {x-}{x-} / {5-}{k-}{6-}{q-} / {x-}
Vanessa Selbst: {x-}{x-} / {3-}{2-}{k-}{10-} / {x-}

Vanessa Selbst completed with a {3-}, Chad Brown raised with a {5-}, and Selbst called. Selbst led out on fourth street, Brown called, and Selbst slowed down on fifth, check-calling a bet. Selbst check-called another bet on sixth, and both players checked on seventh.

"Ten," Selbst announced.

"Ten-six," Brown responded, tabling {10-}{4-}{3-}.

Selbst threw her hands up and showed her down cards, but we only caught the {q-}{4-}. She then turned to her rail and shouted to her girlfriend, "Don't worry, I'll be done soon."

She chuckled. "What kind of awful girlfriend do you think I am?" she responded.

Selbst is down to 13,000 chips, while Brown is up over 50,000.

Van der Fluit Break the Six-Figure Mark

Vincent van der Fluit

No-Limit Hold'em

Ari Engel was in the cutoff and he raised it up to 1,350. Vincent van der Fluit made the call from the button and both blinds folded.

The flop came down {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Engel checked to Van der Fluit who bet 2,600. Engel tanked for a bit and called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs} and Engel checked again. Van der Fluit paused, and eventually put out a 6,250 chip bet. Engel took his time again, but he wasn't folding.

On the river the {A-Diamonds} hit, and Engel checked once more. Van der Fluit took about 30 seconds to make up his mind, before betting 13,725. Engel would be left with 20,000 chips in case he was wrong, and minutes went by before me made up his mind.

Multiple times Engel had the dealer confirm the size of the bet, and he smiled as he clearly wasn't sure what to do with his hand. Eventually he made the call and Van der Fluit turned over {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. Engel mucked immediately and Van der Fluit is now up to around 120,000 chips.

Williamson III Doubles Semin, Then Busts

Pot-Limit Omaha

When we reached Table 401, Mikhail Semin was all in and at risk against Robert Williamson III. The hands were exposed, and they looked like this:

Williamson III: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Semin: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

The {8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop gave Williamson trip eights, and the lead, but the {6-Diamonds} spiked on the turn giving Semin a straight. A meaningless {6-Spades} completed the board, and Semin doubled to 16,000 chips.

Williamson III was left with just 7,000 chips, and busted soon after.
