Eric Afriat had a few bad hands and had lost a lot of chips which put pressure onto his stack. He changed tables and was getting involved in a lot of hands until ultimately he went up against Xiaoming Su who continues to be steam rolling the field.
In a classic small blind-big blind confrontation, action had folded to Afriat who open shoved AK in the small blind and with a stack was now under 5 big blinds, he was called by Su in the big blind.
Afriat had the goods with AK and was going against Su’s K8 which seemed to be a good situation for Afriat, however Su has been on a “run good” today and he smashed the K85 flop, with the 7 on the tun and 5 on the river not giving any help to Afriat at all.
10th place: Eric Afriat $8,000
