The Next Generation of Binion’s – A Conversation w/ Poker Hall of Famer Jack Binion

Nível 22 : Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

This summer, hundreds of thousands of players will pass through the doors of the newly-renovated Horseshoe Las Vegas, formerly known as Bally’s. For the second year in a row, the venue will play host to the annual World Series of Poker (WSOP).

As players pack the casino for the 54th annual WSOP, many of them will saunter by a lavish steakhouse. For some, it’ll be just another restaurant, maybe one they’ll attend to celebrate a bracelet win, but for others, they’ll recognize the name on the sign, the man responsible for poker’s premier event – Jack Binion.

Now 86 years old, Binion is a titan of the gaming industry and the son of casino magnate Benny Binion. Together, they launched the WSOP back in 1970 at Binion’s Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas. Over the next four decades, Jack Binion would go on to change not only the poker landscape but also the casino industry throughout the United States. Along the way, he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame and became an icon of the game.

Binion doesn’t relish the spotlight, so interviews with the born-and-raised Texan are few and far between. However, late last year he sat down with PokerNews for an intimate and in-depth conversation about his life in poker.

Mohamed Wins Hand, Apologizes to Zhu

Nível 22 : Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

Ahmed Mohamed was among three players to tangle with WSOP bracelet winner Yueqi Zhu, who raised under the gun before the flop.

The aggressive play didn’t deter calls from a player in middle position, Mohamed, who was in the small blind, and Paul Dockal, who sat in the big blind.

The flop produced 6♦K♦7♦, prompting Mohamed and Dockal to check. Zhu continued with a bet, and the player in middle position immediately folded.

Mohamed, though, put in a check-raise, which caused Dockal to fold. Zhu briefly looked down at the board before making the call to the turn. With the 3♥ on the board, both players checked, and the river brought A♣, which Mohamed immediately bet and Zhu called.

Mohamed tabled A♦K♥ for top two pair, while Zhu flashed an Ace in his hand as he mucked his hand.

“I know,” Mohamed told his opponent. “You’re no dummy, Mr. Zhu. I thought you had ace-queen or ace-jack. I promise I won’t check-raise next time. I’m sorry, Mr. Zhu.”

Mohamed’s remarks brought chuckles from the table.

Dames Wins at Showdown

Nível 22 : Limits 15,000/30,000, 0 ante

A player in late position raised and got a call from Matthew Dames in the big blind. The two players saw a flop of 5♠K♣5♥ before checking through to the turn of 3♣.

Dames check-called a bet from his opponent before watching the dealer burn and turn the 10♥. Action checked through on the river and Dames turned up the 6♠6♦ which was good enough to take the pot.

Mullaney's Set Takes Out Sylvia

Nível 21 : Limits 12,000/24,000, 0 ante

John Mullaney and Jesse Sylvia, two of the shorter stacks at their table, were involved in a swollen pot before the flop just before the dinner break.

The flop brought 5♦10♥J♠, opening the door for more chips to enter the fray with betting. The turn produced 6♣, and Mullaney bet into Sylvia, who took at least two minutes to ponder the situation. Sylvia eventually counted out the rest of his chips, restacked them, and then announced an all-in bet.

Mullaney immediately called and tabled 5♦5♥, while Sylvia showed AxKx, needing help against Mullaney’s bottom set.

But with 7♦ on the river, Mullaney secured the hand and sent Sylvia to the rail.
