Jon Orlando Wins One Early

Blinds are 100 /200 when Mr. 3 coin himself, Randy Sadler, opens to 400 from early position. Derek Adamian in the cutoff calls, James Rice completes from the small blind, and Jon Orlando defends the big blind. Four players take a flop of 4♠ A♣ 6♥. Rice checks and Orlando leads for 600. Sadler folds and Adamian makes the only call, sending the hand heads up to the turn.

The turn is the 8♦. Orlando slows down with a check. Adamian takes over the betting lead and fires 1000. Orlando thinks briefly and calls. The river is the J♣ and once again Orlando checks. Adamian places a final wager of 3000 into the middle. Orlando considers the situation only briefly before making the call.

Adamian tables 5♦5♠ for a small pocket pair that remained unimproved. Orlando reveals J♠7♠ for top pair on the river and wins the pot.
