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.
