Toma Doubles Twice and Avoids Disaster
Level 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tsugunari Toma moved all in for just under 200,000 from the button and Orpaz called.
Tsugunari Toma: 10?8?
Tom Orpaz: 3?3?
Tsugunari smashed the 10?10?5? flop and remained ahead on the 2? turn and 5? river to secure the double up.
The very next hand, Orpaz moved all in from the button and Toma called to put himself at risk.
Tsugunari Toma: 6?5?
Tom Orpaz: K?4?
Orpaz seemed poised to end the tournament when the first four cards ran out 9?3?A?8?. The 6? river gave Toma a pair to secure another double up for the second hand in a row.
The very next hand, Toma used a time extension chip before deciding to fold from the button. Orpaz revealed he had AxAx in his hand and that by folding, Toma had avoided near-certain disaster.
