Easy Game for Barer and Erlandsson
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Hans Erlandsson raised to 100,000 with the J♣9♦ in early position and Ami Barer called with the 9♠9♥ in the hijack, Farid Jattin folded the 8♣7♠ in the big blind. Erlandsson smiled when he checked the A♦8♥2♠ flop and instantly folded to a bet of 75,000.
The Swede raised again to 100,000 with the A♠J♣ first to act and Eric Afriat came along with the K♠3♠ in the big blind. Both had a piece of the J♥6♠3♥ flop and Afriat check-called instantly for 75,000.
The 2♠ turn brought a flush draw for Afriat, who check-called for 175,000 and missed the 2♦ river. Afriat checked, Erlandsson bet 300,000 and Afriat mulled it over before paying off.
