Binger Binks A Double

With the 5,000 rebuy chips in play, we were expecting to have plenty of action today, and Michael Binger and Barry Greenstein just provided us with some. There was 1,000 in the pot on a flop of {9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Binger bet out 950, forcing a folded from Steve Gross. Greenstein counted out a raise to 2,550, and Binger instantly moved all in. Greenstein called, and they flipped their cards over.

Binger: {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Greenstein: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Spades}{4-Spades}

Binger's two pair had outflopped Greenstein's overpair of queens, but Greenstein picked up a flush draw on the {j-Spades} turn. However, the river came the {2-Diamonds}, and Binger doubled up to about 10,000 with both of his add-ons left.
