Afriat Reads Zagar Correctly
Level 4
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
With around 8,000 in the pot on a flop of K♣10♠6♥, Eric Afriat bet 3,500 from the hijack and Franck Makaci called on the button, as did big blind Vid Zagar.
All three players checked the A♦ turn. Zagar then led out for 9,000 on the 3♦ river.
Afriat spent a minute in the tank before folding, while Makaci quickly mucked. "Show one time," Afriat pleaded with Zagar, who obliged by showing Q♦J♦ for a straight.
"I had two pair. See how I folded and checked the turn? You're the only one who can have a straight there," Afriat added after the hand.
