Toma Doubles Twice and Avoids Disaster
Niveau 20
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Tsugunari Toma moved all in for just under 200,000 from the button and Orpaz called.
Tsugunari Toma: 10♣8♣
Tom Orpaz: 3♥3♠
Tsugunari smashed the 10♥10♠5♣ flop and remained ahead on the 2♥ turn and 5♠ river to secure the double up.
The very next hand, Orpaz moved all in from the button and Toma called to put himself at risk.
Tsugunari Toma: 6♠5♥
Tom Orpaz: K♦4♦
Orpaz seemed poised to end the tournament when the first four cards ran out 9♥3♦A♠8♥. The 6♦ river gave Toma a pair to secure another double up for the second hand in a row.
The very next hand, Toma used a time extension chip before deciding to fold from the button. Orpaz revealed he had AxAx in his hand and that by folding, Toma had avoided near-certain disaster.
