Chips Flying All Over the Shop

In a pot capped preflop and with a veritable bunch of betting on the {4-Hearts} {2-Spades} {9-Spades} flop, Farzad Bonyadi found himself all in holding {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}. Most unfortunate for former chip leader Alexander Borteh, as he was holding {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and was drawing rather thin.

No help for Borteh from the {2-Clubs} turn or {5-Hearts} river, and while Bonyadi doubled to 140,000, Borteh was down to just 20,000.

He doubled up the next hand, though, getting in with {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} dominating Doyle Brunson's {K-Hearts} {J-Hearts}. With no help for anyone from the board, Borteh was back up to 40,000. Brunson, however, was virtually felted -- he was down to just 6,000 and in extreme trouble.
