Azor Doubles Up as Binder Left with a Short Stack
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Nicolae Paunescu kicked things off with a raise to 1,500 from early position, attracting two callers. Bernhard Binder, seated on the button, raised to 4,200. Paunescu folded, then Ran Azor pushed all in for his last 10,800, causing Dmitry Zakharov to fold, while Binder made the call, setting the stage for a showdown.
Ran Azor: A♣Q♥
Berhard Binder: K♠J♦
The flop came down Q♠7♣J♥, giving both players a pair, but Azor was still in the lead. Binder's hand didn't improve on the 7♥ turn or the 7♠ river, allowing Azor to double up while leaving Binder with just a few chips.
