Afriat Strikes Back on the River
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
First to act, Hans Erlandsson opened to 100,000 with the A?9? and he was called only by Eric Afriat in the big blind with the 9?7?. The A?8?5? flop gave Afriat a gutshot and he checked, as did Erlandsson.
A double-gutter on the J? turn was checked by Afriat again, who then called Erlandsson's bet worth 100,000.
Afriat got there with the 6? river and checked, Erlandsson bet 200,000 and Afriat check-raised to 900,000. A quick call by Erlandsson followed and Afriat recovered previous losses against the Swede.
