HomeAnnie Bordallo opened to 1,500 preflop and found two callers in Renan Morales and Mike Takayama.
Flop: 8♦ 4♣ 3♠
Bordallo continued her story and bet 2,500 after the flop. Morales got out of the way but Takayama stayed with the hand and called.
Turn: A♥
Bordallo fired another 3,500 and again, Takayama made the call.
River: 2♠
This time, Takayama was the first to bet– to a bigger 6,500… Bordallo tanked a bit but made the call.
Bordallo: 8♠ 8♥
Takayama: A♠ 2♣
After this hand, Bordallo climbed to over 87,000 well on her way to becoming one of the chip leaders– if not THE chip leader for Day 1A.
