Orlov Gets Lucky
Level 6
: 200/400, 50 ante
Alexander Orlov was seated under the gun, and got his remaining 15,650 all in before the flop against his neighbor in the big blind.
Orlov, who lost unfortunate pots to Walthaus twice in a row not too long ago, needed some luck this time. His 
wasn't as live as he'd hoped for, the big blind had the better hand with 
.
The good thing about having king jack all in before the flop against jacks, is that if you hit a king, your opponent only has one out left in most cases. And just like that the flop came 
, and the big blind threw his hands in the air out of despair. The 
failed to improve the big blinds hand, and the 
on the river was a blank as well.
Orlov got the luck he needed, and now plays a solid 31,900 again.
