Unstoppable Orpaz Sends Grafton to the Rail
Level 12
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
The very next hand after Jean-Noel Thorel was eliminated, Tom Orpaz moved all in from the small blind and Sam Grafton called from the big blind to put himself at risk.
Sam Grafton: 10♠8♠
Tom Orpaz: K♠9♠
Grafton looked dismayed to see that Orpaz held dominating spades, but he did pick up equity in the form of a straight draw on the 9♦7♦A♦ flop. The 5♥ turn and 5♦ river were bricks and Grafton became the third player to fall to Orpaz in the past two levels.
