Erceg Triples; Amirfatahi Gives Some Back
Level 27
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Vladimir Erceg found a triple-up not so long ago when his pocket fours turned a set in a three-way pot, cracking cowboys in the process. Though, in the last hand he was just a spectator and recalled the action.
Ali Amirfatahi, who had just doubled up, made it 225,000 from the small blind and Cheng Zhao called in the big blind.
Amirfatahi bet 180,000 on the flop and 480,000 on the turn, which took them to a river on a board of Q♣10♦4♠6♠3♠. With around 1,400,000 behind, Amirfatahi elected to check, and Zhao shoved. Amirfatahi went into the tank for some time, but eventually decided to fold, sending over a lot of his day's progress.
