Orpaz Proving Unstoppable

David Salituro

Level 10 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Tom Orpaz increased his chip lead to more than 900,000 by recently busting two players.

According to Orpaz, Renat Bohdanov raised to 8,000 from under the gun and Orpaz called in the small blind with A?4?. The flop came 5x3x2x with two hears, giving Orpaz the straight, and he raised to 18,000 after Bohdanov bet 6,000.

Bohdanov raised to 43,000, Orpaz moved all in, and Bohdanov called for around 100,000 with two fives for a flopped set. The board ran out Q?7? and Orpaz sent him to the rail.

Orpaz busted Nicolas Chouity at this table a few hands earlier with two kings.

"I was reading the updates yesterday and wondered why you kept getting mentioned," tablemate Daniel Rezaei joked with him afterward.
