Fabrizio Baldassari Finishes in Second Place (£513,049)

Hand #231: Walk for Baldassari, no fuss.

Hand #232: Baldassari on the button now, raised to 225, instantly reraised to a big tower of 25k chips, which turns out to be 855k total. Baldassari assessed his stack, pulling forward lots of towers - 2 mil the bet now. "All in," announced Bord. Call.

Baldassari: {5-Spades} {5-Hearts}
Bord: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}.

Flop: {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}
Turn: {J-Spades} ("ONE TIME!" predictably rings out)
River: {A-Diamonds}

Bord bounced up and down like someone put springs in his trainers, the rail actually collapsed, the hands were in the air like they just didn't care. Baldassari walked slowly to where his fans waited, happy and sad at the same time, and it looked like a riot might be about to kick off! Half a million pounds for second place, a really hard fought heads up to be proud of, and Baldassari will surely be seen again at the live felt soon...
