Level 7 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There was around 19,000 in the pot on a flop of and Michael Binger had a bet of 8,000 in front of him from the big blind. His opponent, Albert Colombo, was in middle position and raised to 16,000. Binger went into the tank for over two minutes and eventually a clock was called on him.

With two seconds left on the clock, Binger folded and Colombo took down the pot with the min-raise on the turn.

After the hand, Binger asked Colombo if he had ace-king. Colombo said he did not have an ace. Binger did not hear him completely and asked him to repeat himself. Colombo said he had a pair but did not have an ace.

Binger was a bit confused, asking if he had a pair that wasn't aces but that could beat king-king. Colombo tried to clear the air, saying he had asked Binger if he had two kings.

"Could you beat kings?" Binger asked.

"Could I beat kings?" Colombo responded. "I don't know," he said as he finished stacking newly claimed chips.
