Binger: Could Work as One of Those Gold-Painted 'Statue' Performance Artists
Michael Binger just dropped a chunk of his stack to one of the day's most consistent chip accumulators: Andrew Lichtenberger. Binger had gotten into the position where, raising on the button (re-raising, in all probability - the bet in front of him was 3,100) he faced a justovermin raise from big blind Andrew Lichtenberger.

He stared at the 6,600 in front of his young opponent and after about a minute made the call.

The flop came down {A-Clubs} {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} and nothing happened for a while. Then Lichtenberger bet out 5,700. More nothing - in fact it looked like they were playing that 'sleeping lions' thing you do at preschool where you have to hold as still as possible or you're out.

Eventually Binger moved - enough to make the flop call. On the {Q-Diamonds} turn, there was another pause-bet combo from Lichtenberger - this time 9,100 - enough to pretty much put Binger to the test for the lot. He thought about it with a bit more emotion this time, even a little shaking of the head before he laid his hand down.
