Al Borges (Taunton, MA)

Level 13:
Blinds 1,000/2,000/300 ante
Total Event 1B Entries: 320

Al Borges, from Taunton, MA, (Not Tauntaun, that’s a Star Wars creature) is at the same table as Mr. Skullcrusher, Bruce Kramer. On a turn of {6h}{5c}{7d}{8h}, Al goes all in for 78,900 and two opponents call. (Bruce folded on a flop bet.)

Al turns over {9c}{10c}

Opponent: {9h}{9d}

We didn’t quite catch the other opponent’s hand.

The river runs out {Qd} and Al more than triples up to 354,600, putting him close to this flight’s chip lead.
