Orpaz Has Some Help From Above
Level 17
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Tsugunari Toma raised to 100,000 on the button and Tom Orpaz called in the big blind.
Orpaz checked dark as the flop came J♦3♣3♥. Toma then bet 80,000 and Orpaz called.
Both players checked the 9♦ turn before Orpaz led out for 150,000 on the K♠ river. Toma snap-called and Orpaz showed K♣9♠ for running two pair to win the pot.
"I just prayed. God is with me," Orpaz said as he stacked up the pot.
"Tough to fade," Erik Seidel added.
"You cannot fade God," Orpaz replied.
