Erik Seidel raises to 4,000 from the hijack and Michael Binger reraises to 10,500 from the cutoff. Seidel calls and they go heads-up to a flop of [KsKd5d]. Seidel checks and, as it is Binger’s turn to act, the lights in the Fontana Lounge inexplicably went out. So, Binger quite literally checked in the dark.
The lights went on in time for both players to see the turn come [7d]. Seidel checks, Binger bets 12,500, and Seidel calls. The river is the [Qc] and Seidel bets out 35,000. Binger does not think long before folding and Seidel takes the pot.
Erik Seidel – 90,000
Michael Binger – 24,000
