Borne Approaching Half a Million
Level 9
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
Four ways to the flop of 
, action checked to Shawn Daniels and he bet 18,000 from the cutoff. Brian Borne called out of the small blind and one player folded, then John Choi raised it up to 65,000. Daniels folded and Borne carefully counted his big stack before eventually moving all in. Choi had just two choices, to fold with 140,000 behind or play for a really big pot and call it off.
Choi opted for the former and Borne claimed the pot without showing his cards, which he got some tease for by the other players at the table as he had apparently promised to show. By taking down this pot, Borne jumped up to almost half a million in chips.
