Orpaz Slows Down Blit
Level 26
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Deddi Orpaz raised to 85,000 in early position with J♠J♣ and Jacques Blit just called on the button with Q♠Q♦. That invited Samara Alexandre to come along from the big blind with 5♦3♠.
The flop came 7♠4♦3♣ and Orpaz continued with a bet of 140,000. Both Blit and Alexandre called to see the J♦ on the turn. Alexandre checked again and Orpaz reached for a bet of 325,000. Blit still called and Alexandre got out of the way.
The 7♦ paired the board on the river and Orpaz instantly overbet shoved all in for 1,830,000. A little table banter engaged between the two players and Blit eventually made the correct laydown.
