Bond Binks

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

We found Matt Bond deep in thought in the big blind, with an opponent in middle position having shoved in about 15,000 on a board of . Bond tanked for a good three minutes at least, and then slammed in some chips to call. His opponent moved his hands away from where they were clasped in front of his mouth and turned over for a set. Bond flinged in but the dealer burned and brought forth the for the river.

That caused the player in middle position to rock back in shock, and Bond collected the pot.
