"Waking Up With Aces!"
Aleksandr Orlov was seated under the gun but wasn't doing much when the dealer was done pitching cards. Staring from behind reflective shades and with his AirPods in, people wondered if he was maybe just not paying attention.
The dealer eventually asked him to make a move, and that's when the table found out Orlov was asleep. He woke up with a start, glanced at his cards, and moved in for 80,000.
The table was in stitches and Dermot Blain, sitting right behind him, shrugged when he folded, later telling the table he had ace-jack.
"I hope I don't find ace-queen here," one player said, convinced Orlov must've had a big hand when he woke up and instantly shoved.
The action folded around and Orlov won the pot.
"Show it!" the players said.
Orlov showed the while he raked in the pot and started stacking.
"Waking up with aces!" one player jokingly said.
Orlov was the big blind the next hand, we're unsure if he stayed awake for that one.
