Brian Bordinaro Smashes the River

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

As expected, when a player gets aces or kings, they typically try and get all of their money in the middle as soon as they can!

This is true for both Mike 'The Mayor' Rellinger and Brian Bordinaro.

Rellinger held {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} while Bordinaro tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, while being the player at risk for his last 30,700.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, which was fairly benign for Rellinger. The turn was a safe {8-Diamonds}, but the river was the {k-Diamonds}, causing the table to erupt.

The chips went to Bordinaro and Rellinger said, "I'm glad you only had 30,000. He had a Sabres jersey on, too. How perfect was that?"

Level 13 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On a board reading {Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, with about 10,000 in the pot, Elliot Shermet managed to get his remaining 29,100 chips in the middle against Brian Bowen.

Shermet: {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Bowen: {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}

The turn was the {5-Spades} and the river was the {4-Spades}, giving Shermet the double up he was looking for.
