Bye, Bye, Borrero

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

There are three tables over in the Manor Room along one of the side walls, and we meandered in there to see who was hiding. Miguel Borrero was one of those tucked away in the corner, and we arrived just in time to see his final stand.

The board showed {J-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} when we walked up to the table, and Borrero had shoved his last ~8,400 into the pot. His opponent tanked and called with {7-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}, and Borrero's {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} was well ahead.

Well ahead, that is, until the {8-Diamonds} dropped off the deck on the river, flushing Borrero out the door just before the first break.
