Binger Forced to Fold
![[user101598]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Philip Jacobsen started the action by raising to 500 from under the gun. Three players came along for the ride including Michael Binger in the small blind.
The flop fell 
and the action checked to a player in late position who bet 675. Binger quickly check-raised to 2,000 forcing Jacobsen and the fourth player to fold. The original bettor wasn't going anywhere though, because he promptly re-raised to 5,650. Binger went deep into the tank, staring his opponent down and assessing the situation. He eventually spoke, asking to see the remainder of his opponents stack (around 20,000), then returned to his silent trance.
Finally he folded, leaving himself with 19,000, and his opponent was shipped the pot.
To add insult to injury there was a dealer change and the fist thing the dealer did when she got into the box was ask Binger to take his iPad off the rail of the table.
Apparently there is no fun allowed for theoretical physicists.
