Not So Easy Now

Limit Hold'em:

Nick Binger may be a mere mortal after all. He has just lost two pots in a row to Frank Gary.

In the first, Binger raised first in from the button and Gary called. The flop came {J-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}. Gary check-raised a bet from Binger, and both players put two bets in. On fourth street, the {3-Diamonds} peeled off. Gary bet out. Binger shook his head and shotan eye over at his opponent. After a minute or so, Binger slammed his chips and slid his cards into the muck.

On the next hand, Binger again opened with a raise, this time from one seat over in the cutoff. Once more, Gary was the only caller. The flop came {5-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {6-Spades}. Gary check-called a bet from Binger. The turn came the {A-Diamonds}, and both players checked. The river brought the {A-Clubs}. Gary checked, Binger bet, and Gary called. Binger tabled {K-?} {6-?}, and was bested by the {7-?} {7-?} of Gary.

Nick Binger shipped two pots in a row to Gary, and has been knocked down under the 1,000,000-chip mark. Frank Gary, meanwhile, has chipped up to 411,000.
