Afriat Ascends Further
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Eric Afriat and Aleksejs Ponakovs were heads up on a completed board of 5♥10♠K♥9♥9♠. Ponakovs checked out of the big blind and Afriat made a pot-sized bet of 200,000 on the button.
Ponakovs thought it over for a little while before flicking in a call. Afriat showed J♣9♣ for runner-runner trips and Ponakovs quickly tossed his cards in the muck.
