Beresford Doubles Then Busts
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Eric Afriat opened to 24,000 from middle position and called when Conor Beresford jammed for 93,000 from the big blind.
Conor Beresford: 7?7?
Eric Afriat: J?8?
Beresford made a set on the 10?7?4? flop and filled up after the J?J? runout. Afriat appeared frustrated at the runout.
The following hand, Blaz Zerjav raised to 25,000 from the cutoff. Beresford push all of his chips into the middle once again and was called by his opponent.
Beresford had K?Q?, and had Zerjav's K?J? dominated. The 8?4?4? flop looked like Beresford would double again until Zerjav paired up on the J? turn. The J? river gave Zerjav a full house and the checkmark to oust the Englishman.
"Just gave them away," Afriat said as he looked down at his short stack.
