Top Set is No Good Against Afriat
Level 2
: 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
We got to the table on the turn on a board reading 
, 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 
for a straight to the six, and Gauthier disappointingly tabled 
for top set.
The river was the 
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.
