Level 4 : 2,000/4,000, 300 ante

David Oppenheim opened to 10,500 only to have James Bord ask for a count from the big blind once the action was on him.

"I've got about 170,000" stated Oppenheim.

"Ok. I'm all in!" replied Bord.

"All in? Really? The question is how much do you have?" responded Oppenheim.

"I've got about 165,000." answered Bord.

"I can lead him some so he has you covered!" jokingly stated Patrik Antonius.

Oppenheim stood up from his chair, went for a little walk before asking for some details on the payout structure - which Howard Lederer detailed for him.

"Can I have an exact count please?" asked Oppenheim.

As the dealer began counting down the chips, Oppenheim announced a call as the cards were placed on their back.

Oppenheim: {10-Hearts} {10-Spades}
Bord: {J-Clubs} {J-Hearts}

With Oppenheim being crushed in a pot that was worth over 288,000 (Bord's exact count was 142,500), the board was spread {Q-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {3-Clubs} {4-Hearts} to ensure Bord the double as Oppenheim was left crippled with just 30,000 in chips.
