Orpaz Scores First Knockout of the Day

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Tom Orpaz
Tom Orpaz

Tom Orpaz recounted the action after scoring the first knockout of Level 1.

After seeing a raise and two calls in front of him, Orpaz three-bet to 2,100 from the small blind. The first two opponents folded before Kamal Kasim made the call.

Orpaz led out for 1,500 on the {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} flop, only to see Kasim raise to 5,000. Orpaz then moved all in, followed by a quick call from Kasim.

Kamal Kasim: {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Tom Orpaz: {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Orpaz was trailing after Kasim flopped a flush, and stayed behind after the {9-Clubs} turn. The river {7-Diamonds} rescued Orpaz, making a king-high flush to score the early double up.
