King James, But It Ain't LeBron

Noah Schwartz in earlier day action

Mega Miami Heat fan Noah Schwartz broke tables, and on the first hand at his new location, bumped it up to 2,200 from middle position.

A few spots over, James Bord shuffled chips and ummed and ahhed for over ninety seconds before moving all in for 16,600. The action passed back to Schwartz and he made the call to the WSOP Europe Champion at risk.

Bord: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Schwartz: {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}

With Bord in the lead, the {9-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop would ensure his double to over 35,000 as Schwartz slipped down to 30,000.
