James Bord Eliminated in 2nd Place (AUD$150,000); David Oppenheim Wins!

Level 8 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
James Bord - 2nd place

David Oppenheim opened his button to 30,000 only to have James Bord instantly move all in for his last 244,000.

Just as quickly, Oppenheim made the call to put the Englishman at risk as the cards were tabled.

Bord: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Oppenheim: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

As both players rose to their feet and shook hands, the dealer slowly peeled the flop to reveal the {5-Hearts} in the window before the entirety of the flop filled out {5-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} to leave both players with a pair, but keep Oppenheim in front.

As Bord's English-rowdy rail chanted for an assortment of cards, the {2-Hearts} on the turn brought about a loud cheer as now the WSOP Europe Champion could catch any heart or eight to take the lead or find an ace, deuce or any paint card to chop the pot.

With both Bord and Oppenheim standing next to each other sweating the fate of what the river would deliver, the {6-Spades} would ensure Bord's elimination in second place for an AUD$150,000 payday to top off a fantastic few months of the Brit that is highlighted by his victory in the WSOP Europe Main Event for £830,401 (roughly $1,280,000) and his appointment as a Full Tilt Poker Red Pro.
