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.
