Borteh Bounces Back

No-Limit

Alex Borteh was down to 3,025 by the early part of the second level today, and found himself committing the last of his stack with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} versus an opponent's {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}.

The flop was {Q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Clubs}, and Borteh's eights were still good. The {7-Clubs} came on the turn. Still okay for Borteh. Then the river came the {8-Spades}, improving Borteh to a set and securing him the pot.

He's at 6,200 now.
