Top Set is No Good Against Afriat

Level 2 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Eric Afriat
Eric Afriat

We got to the table on the turn on a board reading {k-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, with 75,000 in the pot.

Norman Gauthier was in the hijack and had 210,000 in front of him. Eric Afriat was in the cutoff and moved all-in with 1,039,000. Gauthier was in the tank and eventually called.

Afriat tabled {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs} for a straight to the six, and Gauthier disappointingly tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for top set.

The river was the {10-Clubs} and Afriat doubled up. "I should've known. I played with him for years" said Gauthier as he paid the bet.

The WPT champion is now up to 2,200,000 in chips, while Gauthier is down to 505,000.
