Johnson and Marsh Put the Screws to Orfanos

Level 4 : 200/300, 300 ante

In consecutive hands Yanni Orfanos was put in a tough situation and ultimately lost chips each time.

In the first hand, action was picked up on the river on a board that read {k-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, a pot of about 12,000 was in the middle. Nick Marsh bet over 20,000 which had Orfanos covered. Orfanos went deep into the tank and eventually asked someone to call the clock on him, which one table mate obliged him and did. A few moments after that Orfanos folded {k-}{10-} face up.

The next hand, Orfanos was again forced to fold after a substantial think when Aaron Johnson made a bet on a turn of {9-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Spades}. After folding, Orfanos pounded his stack into the table in frustration bemoaning the loss of much of its contents.
