Eric Afriat has done well to tread water so far on this final table, finding a needed double-up earlier in the evening and making a few tough folds along the way. His patience may start to be rewarded though, and the first step of the reward is a well-timed double-up through Pat Quinn.
Pat raised from utg to 350K – a typically large preflop raise from the cash game player from Toronto – and after David Peters folded, Eric moved all in with his last 905K in chips. Action folded back to Pat, who made the call.

The flop came but that was the last face card – the turn and river were the and Eric’s Tens held. Eric is now up over 2M in chips (20bb).
