I See a Red Door and I Want it Painted Black

Livello 6 : 150/300, 25 ante

Andy Black re-raised preflop to 2,575 in position and found himself heads up headed to the flop.

It rolled off {5-Hearts} {q-Clubs} {2-Clubs} and both players snap-checked. The turn was the {3-Spades} and once again it was checked to Black. This time he bet 5,000 and after some thought, his opponent called. The river was the {9-Spades} and when given the opportunity, Black bet 11,000. His opponent was clearly not happy and thought for awhile. Eventually, he announced a call. Black immediately tabled {5-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} for a set and his opponent angrily mucked his cards.

Black now has 55,000 chips.

No Going Back

We came back from the break with just 11 tables left in the White section, breaking towards the Black section in the far corner. We'll let you fill in your own jokes about that while we provide some chip counts from the last few holdouts over here in this corner.

Binger Times Two

Livello 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

The most recent counts for Michael Binger and Masa Kagawa are the way they are thanks to a double-up pot they played just a moment ago. We missed the hand play out, walking up only in time to see the cards.

The board showed {Q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} , and Michael Binger had {Q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} out in front of him. He was counting his stack down, and Masa Kagawa was waiting to pay the debt with an inferior {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} showing. From the table talk from Mike Beasley, we gather that Binger called a raise to 1,050 out of position in a mult-way pot. He led out on the flop, but we're not sure exactly when all the chips went in.

Whenever it was, Binger smashed a double up for about 14,000 chips to put him up over 30,000 and up above the chip average.

Akenhead Building a Stack

Livello 7 : 200/400, 50 ante

On a {3-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {k-Clubs} {3-Spades} , James Akenhead forced his opponent to go all in for his chance to win the pot. Eventually, the player did decide to make the call and Akenhead showed {k-Spades} {k-Diamonds} for a full house. His opponent had to hit the rail as Akenhead chipped up to 62,000.
