Brothers in Arms

Level 8 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Michael Binger was well under 20,000 chips at one stage in his heads-up match, but he has mounted quite the comeback. Our last check had him on the verge of closing out the match with a big chip lead.

Binger and his opponent Darren Kennedy got it all in preflop on a coin flip. Kennedy had the pair of {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}, and he was looking to hold up to stay alive against Binger's {A-Diamonds} {J-Clubs}. How about a sweat?

The flop came {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}, and it was still essentially a race with two cards to come. From the rail, Nick Binger (who has already advanced through Round 1) came wandering over to sweat it out with his bro. When then {10-Hearts} hit the turn, the brothers looked at each other and said, "Too many outs," in unison. They chuckled, but they were correct in their foreshadowing.

The blank {3-Clubs} filled out the board, and Binger will have to keep battling. Kennedy is back up to 58,000 with that double up.
