Orpaz Still Climbing; Ioli Doubles Through Lee
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Action was heads up with a big pot that looked to be around 40,000 and a full board of 3♣3♦9♠8♦5♣ when Tom Orpaz fired 15,000 and Sung Joo Hyun went into the tank. After a few moments of thought, Hyun tossed his hand in the muck to give Orpaz another pot in his first level of play.
On another table, Kyung Lee shoved from the big blind with more than Mark Ioli in the small blind. Ioli called for his last 19,700.
Mark Ioli: A♠J♦
Kyung Lee: A♦4♥
The board ran out 2♥9♥8♦Q♣K♠ and Ioli held on with ace-jack to secure the double.
