Lederer Doubles

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

Howard Lederer shipped it from the button for 71,000 and James Bord squeezed out his cards before making the call from the big blind.

Lederer: {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Bord: {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {A-Spades} was the window card as the flop filled out {A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}.

"That's so brutal, why the jack!" pleaded Lederer.

The turn of the {2-Clubs} changed little, and as the {2-Spades} landed on the river, Lederer doubled though to 150,000 as Bord was left with roughly 35,000 in chips.

Lederer Returns The Favor

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

James Bord pushed his last 28,500 into the pot and Howard Lederer made the call from the big blind saying, "I've seen enough!"

Bord: {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Lederer: {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

"Not in the door!" exclaimed Lederer as the window card of the {4-Diamonds} was followed by the {5-Diamonds} and {9-Clubs}.

The {Ad] was one that provided the most excitement for the players, but when the {2-Hearts} landed on the river, Bord doubled through to over 65,000 in chips.

Bord Doubles with a Deuce

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

With the action on Barny Boatman in the small blind, he moved all in to force fellow countryman James Bord to a decision for his stack - roughly 63,000.

"Ok, I call!" announced Bord as he slid in his 62,000-chip stack.

Boatman: {K-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Bord: {A-Hearts}{2-Spades}

The board filled out {7-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades} to see Bord double through to 126,000 as Boatman was left with roughly 65,000 in chips.

Barny Boatman Eliminated in 4th Place (AUD$50,000)

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante
Barny  Boatman - 4th place
Barny Boatman - 4th place

Barny Boatman pushed roughly his last 65,000 into the pot from the button and David Oppenheim swiftly made the call.

Boatman: {K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Oppenheim: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

The {A-Clubs} in the window was the worst possible start for Boatman as the flop filled out {A-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

The {8-Clubs} on the turn would ensure Boatman drawing dead as the meaningless {7-Hearts} completed the board to send Boatman to the rail in 4th place for an AUD$50,000 payday.

Lederer Doubles, Bord Crippled

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

James Bord opened the button with a raise to 25,000 only to have Howard Lederer move all in for 87,500. Bord made the call to put The Professor at risk.

Bord: {Q-Hearts}{J-Hearts}
Lederer: {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop gave Bord the lead until the {K-Spades} on the turn thrust Lederer in front.

Needing a jack or a ten to eliminate Lederer, the {3-Clubs} on the river would see Bord crippled to just 8,000 as Lederer doubled through to 170,000 in chips.

Double, Double for Bord

Level 7 : 4,000/8,000, 500 ante

David Oppenheim opened the button to 17,000 and after Howard Lederer folded, James Bord found himself all in for his big blind of 8,000.

Bord: {A-Hearts}{2-Clubs}
Oppenheim: {Q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs} to see Bord double through to 21,500.

The following hand, Bord pushed from the small blind and Oppenheim made the call from the big.

Bord: {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Oppenheim: {J-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The board filled out {8-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Diamonds} to see Bord make a straight and again double; now returning to 44,000 in chips.

Bord Flushed with Chips

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

With the action on Howard Lederer in the small blind, he slid in a stack of 5,000-denomination chips.

James Bord made the call from the big blind for his last 42,000 and the cards were again on their backs for the fourth consecutive hand.

Lederer: {10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}
Bord: {A-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The flop of {K-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} was near ideal for Bord without him taking the lead . . . until the {7-Diamonds} landed on the turn that is!

The {k-Spades} on the river changed little as Bord claimed yet another double up as he moved to 87,000.

"The man won't die!" stated Lederer as he pushed the chips over to Bord.

You Wouldn't Believe It . . . Bord Doubles Again!

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

From the small blind, James Bord shipped his last 86,000 into the pot, and after some deliberation, David Oppenheim made the call from the big blind.

Bord: {A-Spades}{2-Clubs}
Oppenheim: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}

The {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades} flop kept Bord in the lead until the sweat-tastic {J-Diamonds} spiked on the turn.

Fortunately for Bord, his luck continued as the {3-Clubs} landed on the river to ensure him another double up - this time seeing his 8,000 from just a few hands ago move to 175,000!
