Orlov Falls Asleep Again, Wakes Up With Kings This Time

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Aleksandr Orlov
Aleksandr Orlov

A couple hands after shoving while just waking up on the table, Aleksandr Orlov pulled the same stunt again. This time, the dealer again had to wake him and he raised to 20,000. Big blind Jason Wheeler called.

Wheeler checked on {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Orlov pushed for 71,000. Wheeler called with {J-Spades}{4-Spades} and found out soon enough that he was trailing: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} for Orlov.

The {7-Hearts} on the turn sealed it for Orlov and the {9-Spades} on the river was there just for good measures.

Dermot Blain was really laughing now, though he apologized to Wheeler as the latter had just lost a sizable pot.

"No, no, it's good," Wheeler said with somewhat of a wry smile.
