A Rolercoaster of Emotions

When we got to Table 373 we found Jason Somerville raising preflop, too little success. Michael Glasser made the call on the button, as well as James Schaaf and Eric Afriat.

After all the chips were put in the pot we were off to see a flop of {5-Clubs}{A-Hearts}{4-Spades} where the action folded to Somerville and again he bet, this time 18,000. The action was next on Glasser who raised and made it 50,000 total. Darian folded, and to everyone's surprise Afriat moved all in. Somerville instantly folded, and Glasser exclaimed "F***!" in furstration. It was only 10,000 more to Glasser so he made the call.

Cards were flipped and it was Glasser's {A-}{10-} that was ahead of Afriat's {7-}{6-} up and down straight draw. Glasser was super excited, but on the turn he was again sent crashing down, as a {8-} hit. A meaningless {6-} was spiked on the river and Afriat more than doubled up.
