Michael Binger Eliminated in 6th Place ($114,000)

Michael Binger- 6th Place
Michael Binger- 6th Place

On the second hand after Jason Mercier's elimination, Joe Tehan was in the cutoff when action folded around to him and he threw in a raise to 125,000. Michael Binger was next to act on the button and he reraised to 330,000. Both blinds folded and it was back on Tehan. He grabbed a stack of 100,000 chips and spiked them on the table for a raise to over 2 million. Binger only had 1,505,000 total and made the call.

Binger: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Tehan: {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts}

It was another race situation but this time Tehan had the worst of it. The {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop changed nothing and Binger was in good shape to double until the dealer burned and turned the {A-Hearts}, giving Tehan a pair of aces and the lead!

The room reacted sharply as Binger grinned and simply nodded his head. He seemed to know his chances weren't good and that he'd need one of the two remaining tens on the river. Unfortunately for him it came the {2-Hearts} and he was eliminated from the NAPT Los Angeles Main Event in 6th place.
