Binder Wins Small with a Pair of Nines
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Bernhard Binder opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 2,500, and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya came along with a call in the big blind.
The 9♠A♣3♣ flop saw both players opting to check.
When the 4♠ turn landed, Skhulukhiya took the lead with a bet of 3,100, which Binder quickly called.
On the K♠ river, neither player decided to fire again, leading to a showdown.
Skhulukhiya revealed 8♦8♥, but Binder’s 10♠9♥ was enough to take down the pot, chipping up just a little more.
