Bord With a Big One

Level 4

Pot-Limit Omaha

From middle position, Sorel Mizzi raised to 1,500 and found a caller in the cutoff, as well as James Bord in the big blind. The flop came down {7-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Bord checked to Mizzi and he fired out 3,700. The player in position got out of the way and Bord made the call. The turn was the {j-Diamonds} and Bord check-called again when Mizzi bet 8,800.

The river was the {8-Hearts} and Mizzi threw in a chip worth 25,000. Bord did not waste too much time making the call and tabled {k-Spades}{7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Spades} for a straight. Mizzi couldn't beat it and Bord was shipped the pot.

Bord now sits with 230,000 while Mizzi is down to 115,000.
