Eric Afriat is certainly one of the most experienced and successful live tournament players in the field, and for much of the day he had been among the chip leaders. However, following a table change to Table 60, – the table with by far the most total chips in the tournament – he eventually lost most of his stack, until he posted his big blind with just 68K behind.
In the hand, 4 players limped, the small blind folded, and then Eric went all-in for 72K total. The player UTG folded, but then Shawn Martell went all-in over the top. Everyone else folded and the cards were flipped over.
Eric: 
Shawn: 
The board was safe enough for Shawn until the river: 
– and then Eric spiked the 
to double up.
Play is now very close to the actual bubble.
