Buhaiov Wisely Checks Back As Afriat Turns the Nuts
Eric Afriat opened to 1,000,000 from early position and Nazar Buhaiov called from the next seat. Braxton Dunaway in the small blind and Muhamet Perati in the big blind also called.
They saw a flop of 10♣9♣3♠, where it checked to Afriat, who threw out a continuation-bet of 1,600,000. Buhaiov called, and both Dunaway & Perati folded.
Both checked on the 6♣ turn and Afriat checked the 2♠ river. Buhaiov took some time and elected to check back.
Afriat seemed frustrated and it was clear to see why as he flipped over the nuts with A♣3♣ to scoop the pot.
"Everybody wants to trap you," said Ruben Correia to Buhaiov, who just smirked as he watched the chips get pushed over to Afriat.
Shortly after, Buhaiov opened from under the gun and John Wasnock shoved from 4,800,000 from the next seat. Nobody called, and Wasnock added a few precious chips to his stack.
