Borges: Diamond AClub Q
Marius: Club ASpade A

Borges had the entire rail on tenterhooks, and he shouted out something. We asked our Portuguese colleagues what he said, and we were told that Borges was rooting for King-Jack-Ten.

The flop came Heart KHeart JSpade 10 and the room exploded. The turn was the Heart 8 and the river the Diamond 6 handing another double up to Borges, to the delight of the assembled crowd.

Borges – 550,000
Marius – 650,000
