Binger's 7-2 Eliminates Chris Rentes in Fourth Place (69,348)
Chris Rentes had doubled a few minute prior to this hand, but a second double up was not meant to be. Who stopped it from happening? Yep - Nick Binger. Binger called a short-stacked Rentes' all in bet of 50,000 and flipped over 7
2
. Rentes showed 65. The board ran KJ4
10Q and the 7 in Binger's hand played, eliminating Rentes in fourth place.
Limit Hold'em:
Tamayo is Ready to Gamble
After checking the flop of J7
6, Jonathan Tamayo bet on the 10 turn only to be checkraised by Chris Rentes. Tamayo made the call and the river brought the 7. Rentes bet and Tamayo made the call. Rentes showed 54 for a busted draw and no pair, but the more noticable thing about the hand was that Tamayo had called the check-raise on the turn and the bet on the river with just king-high, which turned out to be the best hand. Tamayo took the pot and some of the wind out of Rentes' sails.

On a flop of QJ3, Alex Jalali bet 28,000 and had Jonathan Tamayo move all in for 109,000 total. Jalali called and showed Q-4 for top pair. But Tamayo held an overpair, pocket aces. The turn was the 2 and the river was the 7, and Tamayo doubled up to 273,000.

Binger Loses to Jacks, Twice
Frank Gary and Chris Rentes each took separate pots from Nick Binger when their pocket jacks held against Bingers' A-K in each hand.
Gary Climbs
On a flop of 865 Nick Binger bet and was called Frank Gary. The A turn was checked by both players and Binger bet out on the A river. Gary called and showed 7-7. Binger showed K-6 and couldn't beat the pair of sevens. Gary has over 400,000 now and Binger fell to under 1,000,000.
