Eric Afriat bets 10,000 from the cutoff on a flop of Club 3Club 10Spade 10 and Haochen Cai raises to 40,000 in the small blind.

Afriat calls and the Heart 9 falls on the turn. Cai then bets 85,000. 

Afriat comes back with a raise to 175,000 and Cai folds. Afriat flashes a ten as he takes the pot.

“Easy game, Eric,” Jeffrey Cormier says as he watches the action from another table.

“Where is the book? He always has it. Not one time he didn’t have it. You always have it, win a few tournaments, that’s how you become a pro. I would never raise you,” tablemate Elie Kortbawi adds.

Eric Afriat- 950,000 (95 bb)
