Ali G is Here?

[user66118]

We walked up to the table to see Felipe Borges all in for just over 5,000 on a flop showing {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

. He was looked up by Canadian online qualifier John Bladen who had his man well covered. Cards up, gents.

Showdown
Borges: {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{K-Hearts}

Bladen:

{8-Spades}

{8-Hearts}

Bladen was poised for the knockout with his timely set of eights. The turn and river came {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

and

{3-Hearts}

respectively, and that seals Borges' fate.

"Boo-ya-ka-shah!" yelled Bladen syllable-by-syllable, channeling Ali G all the way down here in South America. "Canada loves you, Uruguay!" After celebrating for just a moment more, he shook hands with his now-eliminated opponent, and Borges headed quietly off to the exit.
