in 2006 and has
since settled in
Atherton,
California.
Since the 2006 WSOP,
Binger has finished
in the money of four
World Poker Tour
events. At the 2007
WSOP, Binger tied
Phil Hellmuth and
Humberto Brenes for
most cashes of any
player in a single
World Series of
Poker season with
eight. This included
a final table
appearance in Event

No limit Texas

(finishing 3rd) won
by James Mackey. His
brother Nick Binger
also played in the
WSOP this year.
As of 2008, his
total live
tournament winnings
exceed $5,400,000.
Binger tells
Poker Listings
he entered the 2008
World Series of
Poker hoping to win
a bracelet.
"I was very
confident coming in
and hoped to win a
bracelet. I felt
like I had the tools
to do it. I've
studied the game for
a long time, I've
played a lot of
hours online and a
lot of hours live.
I'm feeling
confident. Things
have worked out my
way so far. I've
been very lucky.
I've had no bad
beats at all. I
mean, you get in
with a two- or a
three-to-one
favorite twenty
times, and you
should lose one, but
I haven't lost any.
It's been a mixture
of good playing and
good luck."
