Tournament Trail: Festa al Lago -- Nick Binger Finishes 1st then 2nd

Following Alec "traheho" Torelli and his back-to-back victories at Bellagio, Nick Binger did his best to make some noise when he won event No. 6 and then went on to finish runner-up in event No. 10. Binger has been on a mini-tear since his deep run at the World Poker Tour Championship in April. Since then, he made a final table at the World Series of Poker, and his deep finishes at Bellagio netted him more than $150,000.

Toto Leonidas made his third final table of the series with his win in event No. 9. Joining him with three was Jonathan Little, who finished runner-up to Torelli last week.
