Normand Ships Big One on Star-Studded Table
Level 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Frederic Normand and Eric Afriat were fighting over a pot of 40,000 chips. They were on the turn on a board of 7♣K♠5♣5♠, on which Afriat bet 12,000 from under the gun and Normand made the call from the hijack.
Afriat then took a few minutes before checking on the Q♥ river, whereafter Normand instantly checked back. Afriat reluctantly showed his 9♠6♥ for nine-high, which was beaten by the 8♦8♣ of Normand.
He won a large pot while the rest of the table full of big names looked on.
