Orpaz Busts With a Move at Wrong Time
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Chris Brewer opened the action with a raise to 24,000 and it folded to Tom Orpaz, who jammed for 149,000 in the hijack. Kayhan Mokri in the cutoff asked for an exact count and then shook his head after some 25 seconds of consideration, sending his cards into the muck.
It folded back to Brewer, who called and exposed his 
already. "No, he is ahead," Orpaz immediately mentioned and then flipped over his 
as he was facing an uphill battle with a dominated kicker.
The 
flop contained one spade and potential back door straight equity but the 
turn as well as the 
river brought an end to his run in ninth place.
