Bord Brings it Home
Hand #161: Fabrizio Baldassari had the button and released his hand, clearing the path for James Bord to announce all-in from the small blind. Ronald Lee requested a count - 1,190,000 - and then made the call.
The level of excitement in the room suddenly increased as the rail burst out of their chairs like jack in the boxes...
Bord:
Lee:
"Ace!" boomed the crowd, before moving on to a slightly more greedy request:
"Two... Four... Five!" "Two... Four... Five!" "Two... Four... Five!"
The flop was nearly as good, and after a turn and river, the room once again erupted like Mount Vesuvius.
Bord celebrated with his raucous support, and even Andrew Feldman raced onto the stage to pat the back of the Brit. He's now lifted himself out of the danger zone with well over two million in chips.
"Bordy bring it home, Bordy bring it home!" sang the rail in conclusion, utlising the tune of a pop song that I am sadly too old - or out-of-touch - to name.
