Orphanides Gambles His Way to a Double Knockout
Level 6
: Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Muhammed Bozkurt raised to 3,500 under the gun and received two callers before Stelios Orphanides three-bet to 13,000 on the button. Ghassan Bitar called, but Jad Warde then moved all in for 50,000.
The table folded back to Orphanides who reshoved. "I'm going to gamble," Bitar said as he called off his last 30,000.
Ghassan Bitar: 7♣6♣
Jad Warde: A♥Q♥
Stelios Orphanides: K♦J♥
"I'm gambling too. We're all live," Orphanides said as the flop came 3♠8♠2♠. The turn was the K♣ and Orphanides spiked his king to take the lead.
The 9♣ completed the board and Orphanides sent both opponents to the rail. "I had to gamble. A lot of dead money," he said.
