Orpaz Hasn't Lost a Hand Yet
Tom Orpaz has had a stellar start to the day that has seen him more than double up after eliminating multiple opponents.
The hot day started off with Orpaz opening and Andreas Vlachos defending in the big blind, as Orpaz relayed to PokerNews. Both players checked on the flop of K♥J♥10♦ and Vlachos checked again on the J♠ turn. Orpaz bet 15,000 and Vlachos check-raised to 35,000. Orpaz called.
The 7♣ river completed the board and Vlachos bet 75,000. Orpaz moved all in for 135,000 and his opponent folded. Orpaz held Q♥J♦ for trips and Vlachos claimed to have folded a straight with Qx9x.
The very next hand, Peter Jorgne open-shoved a stack of around 60,000 and Orpaz re-shoved to get things heads-up.
Peter Jorgne: 7x7x
Tom Orpaz: 10x10x
Orpaz had the better pair and an inconsequential runout sent Jorgne to the rail.
Orpaz then opened from the cutoff and Davit Chochishvili three-bet jammed for 50,000 from the button. Orpaz called.
Davit Chochishvili: A♦2♦
Tom Orpaz: 6♦5♦
The flop of 6♠5♠3♠ gave Orpaz the lead with two pair and the runout of 7♦Q♦ didn't change things to mark Chochishvili's elimination.
Just before the table broke, Orpaz picked up another decent pot with AxAx. The real estate investor started the day with 182,000 and is already up to 470,000.
