A Charmed Life

Loni Harwood opened to 9,000 from the hijack and Eric Afriat used his overwhelming chip lead to play the big stack bully. He popped the action to 23,000 with a three-bet from the button, and only Harwood came along.
The flop fell 
and Harwood checked to the aggressor, who played the part with a smallish wager of 14,000. Harwood flatted and fourth street brought the 
to the felt, and once again Harwood knuckled the felt. Afriat continued his line with a 25,000 bet, with Harwood calling quickly and the river falling 
.
A third tap of the table by Harwood prompted Afriat to cut out a bet 75,000 and place it forward, and Harwood wasted little time in looking him up, only to wince noticeably when Afriat tabled 
with the look of a man who hasn't lost a pot for the last week. After winning the 2014 WPT Seminole Hard Rock Poker Showdown for $1,081,184 just six days ago, Afriat is playing with confidence and swagger - a combination that his tablemates should rightly fear.
