Lederer Shoves Over Bord

Level 8 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

James Bord opened the button to 30,000 before Howard Lederer three-bet shoved all in from the big blind.

"I've done this a few times to you today!" stated Lederer.

Bord deliberated for a few moments before eventually relinquishing the pot to Lederer.

But It Was Sooooted?

Level 8 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

James Bord opened his button with a 30,000-chip raise only to have David Oppenheim make it 130,000 from the small blind.

"That was stupid!" stated Bord as he folded his {7-Spades}{4-Spades} face up while slipping to roughly 100,000 in chips.

Oppenheim Back in Control

Level 8 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Over the past few hands, it seems everything is going David Oppenheim's way.

He has received a couple of walks and his preflop raises have gone uncalled.

He has now pushed his lead out to holding half the chips in play.

Bord Takes Chip Lead with Threes

Level 8 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

David Oppenheim opened his button with a raise to 25,000 only to have James Bord move all in for 103,000. Oppenheim made the call to put Bord at risk.

Bord: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}
Oppenheim: {Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

"Do I have any chance at all?" asked Oppenheim.

The board rolled out {K-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} to see Bord find a double to 210,000 as Oppenheim was left with slightly under that.

Delayed Bet for Oppenheim Equals Win

Level 8 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

David Oppenheim entered the pot from the button with a raise to 23,000 as James Bord came along from the big blind.

Bord checked the {Q-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades} flop, as did Oppenheim, to see the {J-Clubs} land on the turn and Oppenheim fire out a delayed continuation-bet of 20,000 following a check from Bord.

Bord took some time deliberating before eventually pushing his cards to the muck as Oppenheim claimed the pot to move back into the chip lead.

Howard Lederer Eliminated in 3rd Place (AUD$80,000)

Level 8 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Howard Lederer - 3rd place
Howard Lederer - 3rd place

Howard Lederer pushed his last 143,000 into the pot from the button and David Oppenheim made the call from the big blind.

Lederer: {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Oppenheim: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}

"It's the best hand I've seen in a while!" stated Lederer, but unfortunately it was most likely to be his last as the window of the {A-Clubs} was followed by the {6-Hearts} and {2-Clubs}.

Only runner-runner would save him, and after the turn and river landed the {K-Diamonds} and {7-Hearts}, Lederer was forced to hit the rail in third place for an AUD$80,000 payday.

Oppenheim re-checked his hand before pushing it towards the muck while slipping to 355,000 as Bord moves to 245,000.
