Manuel Borges Doubles Up

With the recent flurry of eliminations, Manuel Borges has manoeuvred and laddered his way into the final four but with a stack of 180,000 he was painfully short against the other three players, all of whom had stacks in excess of one million.

Paul Marius raised to 70,000 from the button and Borges three-bet all in from the big blind. Marius called.

Marius:
Borges:

The board ran out and Borges doubled up. There was a selection of shouts of encouragement from players seated in today’s WPTDS Six Max tournament, with the tournament officials explaining that Borges is a local favourite.
