An Orbit with One of the Young Guns, Cole Ferraro
Hand #1:
Cole Ferraro opened to 1,000 in the cutoff and was called by the big blind. The flop came Q♦10♥5♠ and the action checked through to the 3♠ on the turn and the 6♣ on the river. Ferraro thought about betting the river but opted to just check it back. The big blind tabled 5♥4♠ but Ferraro held A♥6♠ for the better of the two pairs.
Hands #2-4:
Ferraro took a break and folded three hands in a row.
Hand #5:
Ferraro raised to 1,000 in early position and the big blind just called. The flop fell 8♦7♠7♣ and the big blind check-called a bet of 800 from Ferraro. The turn was the 8♠ and both players checked to the 8♥ on the river. Ferraro made another bet of 2,000 on the river and his opponent called. Ferraro tabled A♣Q♣ while his opponent held A♥K♥, both playing the full house on the board.
Hands #6-7:
Ferraro laid down his next two hands, including his big blind.
Hand #8:
The action folded around to Ferraro in the small blind who made it 1,200 to go. Gerald Cohen called in the big blind and the dealer fanned the flop of 10♦9♣3♠. Ferraro led out with a bet of 1,400 and Cohen dumped his cards to the muck.
Hand #9:
It folded around to Ferraro on the button but he also let his hand go and let the blinds fight it out. It was a profitable orbit for the young 22-year-old who won his first WSOP gold bracelet last year and is hoping to make a deep run in this year's Main Event to record his second straight cash in the biggest tournament in the world.
