Breathing Room for Binger

Level 12 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

From the button, Darren Kennedy opened to 7,500, the standard raise these two have chosen at this level. The three-bets have been sparse, but they're starting to come with a bit more frequency in the last few minutes as the two men tire of this battle. Binger three-bet to 17,000 this time, and Kennedy came along with the call.

The flop brought {K-Clubs} {10-Clubs} {6-Hearts}, and Binger led out with 15,000. Kennedy called, and both men checked the {J-Clubs} turn. That led them to the {8-Clubs} river, and they check-checked it once again. Binger showed first, and his {5-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} was clubby enough to get the job done.

With that pot, Binger has begun to open up a bit of breathing room. He's just over 100,000 now, giving him a 2:1 lead as the level increases again.
