Matt Affleck Eliminates a Foe
Level 20
: 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
A player in middle position limped in, the small blind completed, and Matt Affleck raised from the big blind to 200,000, putting the middle-position player to a decision for the remainder of his stack. He called, the small blind folded, and the two players tabled their hands.
Affleck held 
and his opponent held 
. Affleck was an underdog preflop, but the board ran out 
to give him a boat, eliminate his opponent, and put his stack over the 500,000-chip mark.
