Afriat Misses Steel Wheel Draw
Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Eric Afriat kept up the pressure with a raise to 90,000 from under the gun, holding a suited ace in A?5?. Farid Jattin in the big blind was the only caller with the A?10? and checked the K?3?2? flop on which Afriat had a steel wheel draw.
Jattin check-called for 50,000 and remained ahead on the 6? turn, on which Afriat checked back. The 3? river paired the board and Jattin overbet for 600,000 into 340,000 with the best hand. Afriat tapped the table and then mentioned his hand after he had folded.
