Thorel Falls to Orpaz's Monster Draw
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tom Orpaz opened to 2,500 under the gun and Jean-Noel Thorel called before Sam Grafton three-bet to 10,500 on the button. Both opponents called.
The flop came 2♠7♦5♠ and Grafton bet 5,000. Orpaz then raised to 25,000, Thorel reraised to 75,000, and Grafton folded. Orpaz, though, moved all in. Thorel, with 85,500 remaining, tanked for about a minute before calling.
Jean-Noel Thorel: A♣7♣
Tom Orpaz: 4♠3♠
Thorel had top pair but needed to dodge Orpaz's straight and flush draws. The 6♦ turn completed his straight and left Thorel drawing dead heading to the A♦ river.
