Orpaz Soars Early
Level 2
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Abdulla Ceesvin raised to 4,000 from under the gun and Tom Orpaz called from two seats over. The rest of the table got out of the way and action was heads up.
The flop was 7♥K♦2♣ and Ceesvin tossed out a T-5,000 chip. Orpaz raised to 10,000 and Ceesvin called to see the turn.
The turn was 8♦ and Ceesvin check-called a 25,000 bet from Orpaz.
"Deuce on the river!" Orpaz requested as the dealer burned the last card. The request was not granted and the river was 6♥.
Ceesvin checked again and Orpaz bet 50,000. It was too much for Ceesvin, who used three time banks before he tossed it in the muck.
Orpaz is on an early tear with over three times the starting chip stack before the first break.
