Michael Binger's agent has been on the rail for the last two days, sweating his client's progress. So far, so good for Binger. Sitting in the big blind, he called a raise to 5,200 from Tim Phan that was also called by small blind Archie Karas.
The action on the draw was two, one, two for Karas, Binger and Phan, respectively. After the draw, Karas checked to Binger, who fired 18,000 into the pot. Only Phan called, and he mucked after Binger showed down 8-6-5-4-3.
