James Bord Doubles Through Paul Phua
A tale of two hands this as the first sets up the second...
James Bord opened to 500,000 and Paul Phua wanted to know how much he was playing. "About six million," was the reply. Phua three-bet to 1,500,000 and Bord had a decision. "Anyone got a coin?" he asked. No one did. So he picked up his phone and said. "This side heads, this side tails," and flipped his phone. It landed on the table and he folded. They don't flip coins in the Big One for One Drop, they flip phones!
The very next hand Bord raised it up to 500,000 again and once more Phua three-bet him. It was 1,200,000 total for Bord to continue and again he flipped his phone. "This time I'm all-in," he said. "Call," said Phua.

It was the ultimate cooler and a board kept Bord's aces in front, he was all-in for 5,620,000.
