Level Four: Nick Binger ReloadsJun 09, '10 Blinds: 100-200 with a 50 ante Players Remaining: 99 out of 101 Notable Eliminations: Players Twitter Accounts: Daniel Negreanu Note: Players have gone on a 60-minute dinner break and will return at 10:25 p.m. Big Hands:
Nick Binger raised to 600 before the draw and Doyle Brunson made the call. Action then folded around to David Williams who popped it to 2,000. Binger then moved in for 4,100 more. Brunson had enough and mucked but Williams made the call. Williams then stood pat and Binger drew one card. Williams turned over J-10-7-6-4 and laughed when Binger gasped in frustration. “I threw away a jack,” Binger said in frustration. He showed 9-6-5-3 but mucked the card he was dealt and had to use one the first of his add-ons. Williams was up to 24,000 with one add-on behind. Smith Gets A Boost We picked up the action on this hand after the draw. Justin Smith bet 800 and he was called by his opponent in seat 3. “Show me you 10,” seat 3 said. Smith showed an 8-7-6-4-2, which was good as his opponent tabled 9-8-6-3-2. Smith won a crucial pot as he was at 23,000 with no add-on chips behind.
Picking up the action on the draw, the player in seat 2 took two cards, John Juanda took one card and Max Pescatori took two cards. All three players then checked and Juanda turned over Q-9-7-6-2. “Ship it over!” Juanda comically yelled. “Yes!” Both of his opponents mucked and Juanda threw out a playful fist pump and raked in the pot. He was at 18,000 with two add-ons while Pescatori was at 5,000 with two add-ons. Baxter Nabs A Pot Picking up the action on the draw, the player in seat 4 took two cards and Billy Baxter did the same. J.C. Tran stood pat and then Baxter led out for 1,500. Both of his opponents mucked relatively quickly and Baxter was at 16,000 with two add-ons remaining. Tran was at 11,000 with all three add-ons behind. Left In The Deck:
Daniel Negreanu asked the floor earlier what would happen with his add-ons if he was blinded out and not present. The floor answered that his add-ons would be used one at a time and not all at once. Negreanu’s presence in the tournament has disappeared as he has gone off to play in event no. 18 ($2,000 limit hold’em). He had a relatively short stack and used this time to try and build it up as the field will go on a 60-minute dinner break after this level, giving Negreanu two hours to build up a decent stack in that event or bust.

Shawn Buchanan raised to 3,400 before the draw and action folded to John Juanda in the big blind. He made the call and it was time to draw. Draw: Juanda draws 1 card, Buchanan draws 1 card Juanda checked after receiving his card and Buchanan fired another 3,400 into the pot. Juanda decided to call and Buchanan tabled 10-9-8-4-2. Juanda mucked and was down to 170,000 while Buchanan was at 56,000. Those chips would not last Buchanan long, however, as he would go bust later in the level. Mueller Flexes The Muscle The player in seat 4 raised to 3,800 and Jean-Robert Bellande made the call from the button. Greg Mueller was next to act in the small blind and he counted out some chips. He finally raised to 14,500 and everyone mucked. Mueller took the pot and he was around 80,000 while Bellande was at 124,000.
Mickey Appleman raised to 3,600 before the draw and action folded around to Eli Elezra in the big blind. He elected to call and it was time to draw. Draw: Elezra draws 1 card, Appleman draws 1 card Elezra received his card and decided to check. Appleman quickly fired another 5,000 into the pot and Elezra mucked. He was down to 19,000 and would later be eliminated. Appleman was around 100,000. Bueno Bests Pescatori After the draw and with 10,000 already in the pot, Patrick Bueno fired 8,000 into the pot. Max Pescatori went into the tank but finally mucked. He was down to 48,000 while Bueno was up to 83,000.
Andrew Black moved all in for his final 15,000 and Justin Smith was next to act. He repopped to 41,000 and everyone else folded. Smith took his change back and it was time to draw. Draw: Black stands pat, Smith stands pat Both players were happy with their holdings and Black showed an 8-7 low. Black’s happiness turned to sorrow, however, as Smith turned 8-6-5-3-2 for a better low and Black made his exit.
