Thorel Falls to Orpaz's Monster Draw
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Tom Orpaz opened to 2,500 under the gun and Jean-Noel Thorel called before Sam Grafton three-bet to 10,500 on the button. Both opponents called.
The flop came 2?7?5? and Grafton bet 5,000. Orpaz then raised to 25,000, Thorel reraised to 75,000, and Grafton folded. Orpaz, though, moved all in. Thorel, with 85,500 remaining, tanked for about a minute before calling.
Jean-Noel Thorel: A?7?
Tom Orpaz: 4?3?
Thorel had top pair but needed to dodge Orpaz's straight and flush draws. The 6? turn completed his straight and left Thorel drawing dead heading to the A? river.
