Afriat Picks the Wrong Time to Challenge the Big Stack
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Dylan Destefano opened to 18,000 in the cutoff and was called by Jeremy Ausmus on the button and Eric Afriat in the big blind. The flop fell 
and Destefano continued with a bet of 18,000.
Ausmus quickly folded but Afriat opted for a check-raise to 48,000. Destefano thought for a minute before sliding out a stack of T25,000 chips. Afriat had a decision to make for his remaining 116,000 chips and elected to send his cards to the muck.
