Goasdoue Goes for the Trap
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Tom Orpaz open-raised to 100,000 from middle position and Alan Goasdoue defended his big blind. The flop fell J?6?8? and all the chips went in the middle. Goasdoue played 345,000 and was at risk.
Alan Goasdoue: A?A?
Tom Orpaz: K?Q?
Goasdoue went for the trap preflop but was in a precarious situation with his opponent having flopped a flush draw. Even more outs arrived on the K? turn, but the 8? river gave Gaosdoue the better two pair to double up.
Meanwhile Orpaz was left with only 275,000 chips, equating to five and a half big blinds in this stage of the tournament.
