Ace Costs Binger

We came by Michael Binger's table to see him make a button raise. The small blind re-raised to roughly 8,000, with Binger making the call. Both players checked the {9-Hearts}

flop. The small blind checked again on the {10-Hearts}

turn, then snap-mucked to Binger's 11,500-chip bet.

After the hand the small blind made an inaudible, but seemingly bitter, remark. Binger, who had not yet surrendered his cards, chose to open them, showing {9-Spades}

for a set of nines. His opponent whistled and said that if the flop had come nine-high, he certainly would have moved all in.

It was the second time in the first hour that Binger flopped a set of nines. He's up to about 100,000 in chips.
