"Aces are good, buddy," Hellmuth said as he snap-folded.
"I'll give you $100 right now to show a stone bluff," Martin Zamani told Borland.
"$200 to show a bluff," Ren Lin added.
"Can't do it," Borland replied with a smile as he took the pot.

James Borland: K♦K♣
Michael Vela: A♦10♦

Song was already drawing dead as the 2♠ fell on the river as McGowan raked in the massive pot.
