Barer Bets Afriat Off an Ace
Level 24
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ami Barer asked Eric Afriat how many time banks he had and Afriat replied that he had 12.
"You don't win the tournament with time banks," Barer replied.
"That's it, take him down. Don't let him know he's chip leader and time bank leader," Eliot Hudon added.
Afriat then raised to 75,000 under the gun and Barer called in the cutoff. The flop came 4♠7♠10♥ and Afriat checked.
Barer then bet 80,000 and Afriat called. The turn was the 2♥ and Afriat checked again. Barer then bet 120,000 and Afriat open-folded A♦K♦.
"One pair," Barer told him.
"If you reraised there might have been fireworks," Afriat added.
