Value for Borsa

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Alessandro Borsa
Alessandro Borsa

Alessandro Borsa has been steadily building an above-average stack and just pulled in another pot to further climb on the leaderboard. On a completed board of {a-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, Borsa made it 8,000 to go and was called by his sole remaining opponent to reveal {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for top pair.

That was enough to win the pot.

Tabacaru Busts One

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With 42,000 in the middle and the turn showing {a-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, Ion Tabacaru made it 18,000 to go and he quickly called the shove of his table neighbor in the one seat.

Tabacaru was ahead with {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for trips, as the player at risk only held {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for aces and fives. Nothing changed on the {9-Spades} river and the pot was shipped to Tabacaru.
