Squeeze from Bord
Hand #36: Fabrizio Baldassari raised to 67,000 from the button and Daniel Steinberg, who's been one of the quieter players at this final table so far, made the call from the small blind. James Bord, however, opted to reraise from the big blind, meticulously counting out 164,000 more on top.
Baldassari glared down at his stack for a moment before counting out his white 25,000 chips. A quick look up at the skies, a blow of the cheeks, and then the inevitable fold. Steinberg followed suit, and Bord picked up the pot having squeezed his opponents like a pair of fresh oranges.
Hand #37: In contrast to the prelfop action of the previous hand, Lee received the first walk of the day on the next.
Hand #38: Lee raised the small blind to 70,000 total and neighbour Dan Fleyshman called in the big blind. Both players checked the flop, but Lee took it down with a bet on the rag turn.
