Orpaz Cracks Queens to Double Through Liu

Connor Richards

Niveau 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tom Orpaz was one of the latest players to join the field but wasted no time doubling up through Ping Liu to his immediate left.

Orpaz held 5♣3♣ for a flush on the board of 8♣7♦9♣4♣2♥ to put a beat on Liu with Q♣Q♦.

"I was behind," Orpaz commented.

Not long after, Kitty Kuo was eliminated by Jesse Lonis at the same table as he increased his chip lead.
