Binger Slipping

Nick Binger opened to 18,000 from the button only to have Yan Chen three-bet to 53,000.

Binger - with only 80,000 behind - sat in the tank for over four minutes before laying his hand down.

With Chen pushed the pot, he now moves up to 595,000 in chips.

One and One for Binger

Nick Binger raised to 18,000, and Yan Chen called. Chen drew two while Binger took one. When Chen checked, Binger bet 24,000 and scooped the pot.

The next hand, Binger raised to 18,000 again. In the big blind, Derric Haynie moved all in for an additional 57,000. Binger sat frozen in his favorite Thinker pose. Michael Binger even abandoned his hand of Chinese. And finally, Binger folded.

Who's up for Chinese?

Usually when railbirds pull out cards to start their own side games, the floor comes over to break it up. Something about gaming regulations. But this Chinese game is different. Michael Binger, Mike Matusow, and Rick Fuller had been playing three-handed. Then TD Tony Spencer came over, not to break up the game, but to play the fourth hand.

Wattel Fires Out For Win

Derric Haynie opened to 18,000 under the gun and both Mike Wattel and Yan Chen made the call from the blinds.

Haynie stood pat and Chen drew two as Wattel drew one.

"How much you got? Ninety?" asked Wattel in the direction to Haynie.

Haynie moved his hands to show that he had 87,000 remaining.

Wattel then grabbed an assortment of chips and led out with a bet of exactly 87,000.

Chen quickly mucked, and after a few moments to sweat his hand once again, Haynie tossed it into the muck.

Binger Doubles Up

Nick Binger
Nick Binger

Yan Chen was first to act and raised to 20,000. In the small blind, Nick Binger moved all in for another 36,000. Chan called. Each were drawing one to a nine.

Chen: {9-}{6-}{5-}{4-}
Binger: {9-}{7-}{6-}{4-}

Michael Binger and Mike Matusow rushed onto the stage and stood inches behind Binger's chair. "He makes it!" announced Matusow as soon as he caught a glimpse of Binger's {8-}. Chen pulled a {J-} and paid Nick. Binger is still the short stack with 92,000 now, and Chen is still on top with 530,000.

Chen Climbs To 600k

Derric Haynie opened to 18,000 from under the gun and Yan Chen made the call from the big blind as both players drew one.

Chen checked and after nearly sixty seconds of deliberating, Haynie fired out 30,000.

Shuffling six 5,000-denomination chips in one hand, before readjusting his chips several times while occasionally taking a sip of a coffee, Chen took three minutes before deciding on making the call.

"Jack!" announced Haynie as he rolled over his {J-}{7-}{5-}{4-}{3-}.

Chen quickly flipped over his {10-}{9-}{8-}{6-}{2-} to win with a ten-low and move to just under 600,000 as Haynie slips to 120,000 in chips.

Yan Chen opened to 20,000 and Derric Haynie made the call.

"I'm going to raise it" announced Mike Wattel as he cut down a raise totalling 70,000.

Chen quickly mucked but Haynie made the call and drew one against Wattel who stood pat.

Following a check from Wattel, Haynie announced, "you win" as Wattel tabled his {8-}{6-}{5-}{4-}{3-} to move to 340,000 as Haynie slips to 175,000 in chips.

Raise, Reraise, and Take It

We told you Derric Haynie was getting revved up. He's switched gears big time and put his 5 Hour Energy out there to warn everyone. Here are the last four hands:

1) Yan Chen raised to 20,000, and Haynie popped it to 63,000. Chen folded, and Haynie took the pot.

2) Nick Binger raised and won the blinds and antes.

3) Mike Wattel raised and took it down.

4) Mike Wattel raised to 18,000 for the second hand in a row, and Derric Haynie made it 67,000. That was enough to win another one.
