Deja Vu

Limit Hold'em:

Nick Binger has the button in Seat 4.

Michael Chu raises, and Nick Binger is the only caller. The flop comes {5-Diamonds} {7-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}. Chu bets, and Binger makes the call.

The turn is the {9-Spades}. Chu checks it over, and Binger bets. Chu calls.

Fifth street is the {Q-Hearts}. Again, Chu checks, and Binger fires one more bet. For the second hand in just a few minutes, Binger's bet on the river pushes Chu out and wins him the pot.

Binger Drags an Early Pot

Limit Hold'em:

There is a dead button for this hand.

From early position, Michael Chu raises, and Nick Binger reraises to three bets. Chu calls. The flop comes down {A-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}. Chu checks, Binger bets, and Chu raises. Binger calls.

The turn is the {8-Clubs}. Chu leads out, and Binger comes along with the call.

The river brings the {4-Clubs}, putting a four-flush on board. Chu checks, and Binger bets. After a few moments of thought, Chu folds. Binger flashes the {J-Clubs} as he rakes in an early pot.
