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.
