In a recent hand Brian Bord, who happens to be the uncle of former World Series of Poker Europe Main Event Winner James Bord, was crippled by Thomas Hall.
We caught up to the hand on a board of . Bord had led with a bet of 14,000. In position Hall reraised to 36,000. Bord just called.
The turn came the and Bord moved all in. Hall called all in with a shorter stack and the two men tabled their hands.

Bord was in the lead, but Hall had many outs to either a chop or a scoop with any six, any heart or a board pair.
The dealer burned and put down the on the river, allowing Hall to nag a double up through Bord, while Bord was left with just around ten big blinds.
Bord was eliminated just a few hands later by Remi Subair.
When we caught up with Jacob Bazeley he was involved in a pot with Christopher Kozlowski. The two got their money in on a board of . Kozlowski was holding against Bazeley's . It looked great for Bazeley who was just two cards away from grabbing up the chip lead.
The turn came the keeping Bazeley in the lead. The dealer grabbed the last card, burned it, then put out the on the river, changing the entire outcome of the hand and giving Kozlowski the two outer he needed to survive and double up.
Bazeley had a big stack, so he is still alive with plenty of chips, but very frustratedly he picked up the off the table and checked it for marks before shipping the chips over to Kozlowski.
"I thought you had two overs," Kozlowski said after the hand.
"Good read," Bazeley said chuckling.
"No," Kozlowski said. "It was a horrible read."
Good read or not Kozlowski has jumped far up the chip counts.
Barry Hutter is Trying to Reclaim the Chip Lead He Held After Day 1
We saw Ira Basil stand to make his exit from the tournament floor, while his entire stack was shipped across the table to Day 1 chip leader Barry Hutter.
The affable Canadian was kind enough to fill us in on the details of his bustout hand, one which had the table gasping when it was all said and done.
Apparently, Basil limped into the pot and watched as Hutter raised it up. Basil elected to make a three-bet and put the pressure back on Hutter, and Hutter simply moved all in to force Basil to the ultimate test.
When Basil snap-called, Hutter was sure his was trailing a premium hand, but surprisingly Basil tabled the .
Although the board ran out by the turn, giving Hutter a bit of a sweat, the river came clean and Basiil was eliminated in stunning fashion.
"I'm just shocked..." Hutter answered, after the dealer asked him to verify his count. "I don't know why he did that, I haven't gotten out of line all day."
We didn't catch all the action but Michael Katz was kind enough to inform us how Warwick Mirzikinian was eliminated just before break. Apparently Mirzikinian got it all in against another play on a flop of with against the other players . The board bricked out and the other player had a covering stack on Mirzikinian, eliminating him from the tournament.
The other player's name is Matthias Bednarek. After that massive hand, he has advanced to the top of the chip counts, while Mirzikinian was just left with a payout slip.
We didn't see how it went down, but Matt Salsberg seems to have lost quite a bit of chips over the last few levels. At the same table a man with the same name seems to be coming up a good amount of chips.
That man is Matt Weber, a regular on the World Series of Poker circuit where he has locked up three WSOPC rings. Weber is now looking as if he has a realistic shot to add a WSOP bracelet to his resume with over 600,000 in front of him and the chip lead by far in this tournament.
, Remi Subair is at it again, eliminating another player from the tournament after an all-in confrontation.
