Orpaz Takes Another One; Field Grows
Level 2
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Just before blinds increased, action was heads up with 26,000 and a flop of 8♣8♠J♥ on the board when Tom Orpaz checked from the small blind and Ramon Kropmanns bet 6,000 from the big blind. Orpaz called and the turn was 9♥.
Both players checked the turn and the river was 8♦. Orpaz took a beat before he bet 20,000, but it was too much for Kropmanns so he gave up the pot.
Meanwhile, the field continues to grow in the early levels and there are currently 26 runners in the tournament, including PokerStars Ambassador Sam Grafton.
