Verbakel:
Verbakel held a nice straight draw, but at the moment all he had was a pair of fours, which was behinds Binger's pair of jacks. The turn was discouraging to Verbakel as it gave Binger both flush and low outs. The river completed Binger's low, which complimented his pair of jacks for the high.
Binger scooped the pot to chip up to 1.45 million while Verbakel was eliminated in 8th place.
