Bord But Never Boring

James Bord
James Bord

James Bord raised two hands in a row. The first time he picked up the blinds and antes. The second time he picked up something much less nice - a call from Viktor Blom on the button.

They saw an {8-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop which Bord checked. Blom bet 53,000 - and Bord now announced all in. A quick fold later, and the TV crew brought their little hole card camera around so that one day in the future we might know what they had.

Blom told Bord he had {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, but didn't show his hand to anyone but the cameraman.

Bord simply said, "I had a hand." Then he chuckled, "Mine was better than yours, I'm sure."

"Yeah, I'm sure it was," agreed Blom.

"Leave me alone," Bord giggled back at him.

Bord is up to almost 1.2 million. Blom drops just a little to 790,000.
