Danny Freitas Eliminated by Eric Afriat

Mar 27, 2014

With about 30,000 in the middle and the board showing [Qh][10h][7d][7s][8s], Danny Freitas check-calls a bet of 8,500 from Eric Afriat, then sees Afriat table [Ad][Qs] for queens and sevens. The hand is good as Freitas mucks, the hand knocking him down to a little over 10,000.

The next hand sees a player raise to 2,100 and Afriat call from late position, then Freitas reraise all in from the small blind. The initial raiser folds and Afriat calls, turning over [As][Jd] to Freitas’s [Kh][Qs].

The flop comes [10s][10h][8s], then the [Qd] lands on the turn to pair Freitas. But the river is the [9c] to give Afriat a straight and knock Frietas out.

That hand pushes Afriat up to around 175,000, one of the biggest stacks in the room at the moment.

Eric Afriat – 175,000 (292 bb)
Danny Freitas – Eliminated
