Big Slick Helps Binder to a Double-Up
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Bernhard Binder was on the button and opened the action with a raise, Tudor Zapsa was in the small blind and three-bet, Binder four-bet, and Zapsa five-bet shoved. Binder snap-called for his stack of 215,000.
Bernhard Binder: A♥K♥ 
Tudor Zapsa: A♠4♣
It was bad timing from Zapsa, whose best chance to claw anything back from the hand after the K♠J♠Q♣ flop was to find a chop. However, the 8♦ turn and A♣ river kept Binder in the lead, and he doubled up to over 400,000, while Zapsa dropped to under 100,000.
