Michael Binger

With two limpers in the pot before him, action fell on Michael Binger in the small blind, who kicked it up to 7,000 holding {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Clubs}

. To his immediate left sat Preston Derden, who moved all in over the top for 30,200 more. Both limpers folded and when the action returned to Binger, he said, "I don't think I can fold this."

A call was made and Binger found himself racing against Derden's pocket queens.

The board ran out {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

{9-Spades}

and Derden's queens reigned supreme, leaving Binger with 51,000 in chips. Derden improved to 79,000 after the win.
