Bord Laughs Last

On his Twitter feed this morning, Gavin Smith joked, "getting ready for [James] Bord, not often I can play a shorter, scruffier, fatter player than me, we should get professional pics." We hope Smith got those photos taken early because Bord just sent Smith to the rail. Trailing in the match, Smith moved his stack into the middle on an all-small flop, {2-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. Bord called with bottom set, {2-Spades}{2-Clubs}; Smith showed a combination draw with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. The board immediately paired on the turn, {3-Diamonds}, to improve Bord to an unbeatable full house. He will move on to the next round.
