Level 12
: 2,000/4,000, 400 ante
From the button, Darren Kennedy opened to 7,500, the standard raise these two have chosen at this level. The three-bets have been sparse, but they're starting to come with a bit more frequency in the last few minutes as the two men tire of this battle. Binger three-bet to 17,000 this time, and Kennedy came along with the call.
The flop brought 
, and Binger led out with 15,000. Kennedy called, and both men checked the 
turn. That led them to the 
river, and they check-checked it once again. Binger showed first, and his 
was clubby enough to get the job done.
With that pot, Binger has begun to open up a bit of breathing room. He's just over 100,000 now, giving him a 2:1 lead as the level increases again.
