Laroche Flops the Nuts to Double Up
Alexis Laroche opened to 700 in early position and was called by Tom Orpaz in the hijack and Aurelien Russo in the big blind. The flop came J♣10♦9♥ and the action checked to Orpaz who bet 1,000. Russo folded but Laroche check-raised to 3,000 which Orpaz called.
The turn was the 5♥ and the two players quickly got all of their chips in the middle, with Laroche being the player at risk for 14,100. Laroche tabled K♠Q♣ for a straight while Orpaz was drawing slim with K♦9♦. The river was the A♣ and Laroche earned himself a double-up.
