Toma Gets a Shove Through, Then Doubles
Level 15
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action folded to Tsugunari Toma on the button who pushed all in for 200,000. Tom Orpaz in the big blind asked for a count before eventually mucking and Toma showed him king-ten as he took the pot.
"If I had anything better than king-ten I'm calling. A little worse, even," Orpaz said.
The next hand, Biao Ding raised to 50,000 in the hijack before Toma again shoved for 250,000. Ding called once action got back around to him.
Tsugunari Toma: A?K?
Biao Ding: K?J?
Ding was dominated as the flop came A?K?2?, giving Toma top two pair. The board ran out 5?Q? and Toma doubled up.
"Better than king-ten," Orpaz adeed.
