Tom Orpaz Left with Two Big Blinds, Triples Next hand
The action folded to Tom Orpaz in the small blind and he went all-in for roughly three million chips. Sim Kok Wai was in the big blind and put himself at risk by calling off his remaining 2,595,000.
Sim Kok Wai: 7?7?
Tom Orpaz: K?J?
A crowd gathered around the table, hopeful that this flip would burst the bubble. The deck had other plans in mind, however, as the window card gave Wai a set on the 7?3?5? flop. The J? and 6? finished the board and Wai won a huge double while Orpaz was left with two big blinds.
Those big blinds went in the very next hand when Orpaz threw them in from the button. Both the blinds Wai and Weiran Pu made the call and check the board of 8?6?Q?9?4? down all the way.
Tom Orpaz showed the best hand with ace-seven high: A?7?. The A?5? and J?5?, of Wai and Pu respectively, were nullified as Orpaz shot straight back into contention.
