Eric Afriat Rivers a Straight, But Wisely Doesn't Bet Into Igancio Moron's Full House

Jul 13, 2022

After a flop of Spade QDiamond JSpade 8, Ignacio Moron checks the big blind, and three-time WPT champion Eric Afriat bets 2,000 from the cutoff. The player on the button calls, and Moron check-raises to 10,500. Afriat calls, and the player on the button folds.

The turn card pairs the board with the Heart Q, and both players check. The river card is the Diamond 9, and they check again.

Moron shows Diamond QDiamond 8 for a full house, queens full of eights, which is clearly the winner. Afriat pauses for a moment or two before he says, “I made a straight,” and he turns over Club JClub 10 for a queen-high straight. Moron wins the pot.

Ignacio Moron  –  97,000  (81 bb)
Eric Afriat  –  300,000  (250 bb)
