Hand #143: James Bord made it 145,000 from the small blind and Roland Lee folded from the big blind. This mammoth pot sent the rail into an explicable frenzy of celebration.
Hand #144: Bord raised his button to 125,000 and Fabrizio Baldassari called. Both players checked the 
flop, before Baldassari led for 100,000 on the 
turn. Bord called. Check, check on the 
river, the Italian taking it down with 
for top pair.
Hand #145: Lee made it 145,000 from the button. Both opponents gave it up.
Hand #146: A trio of button raises, Baldassari this time picking up the blinds and antes with a raise to 155,000.
Hand #147: Bord raised slightly less, 120,000. No folds on this occasion - Lee reraised to 350,000. Bord folded.
