Eric Afriat is one of the most decorated players in the Montreal scene, and he’s known both here and pretty universally these days as a player who can accumulate chips in a hurry – and relentlessly. He’s now up over 1.1M in chips, and we saw him pick up at least 150K in new chips in a hand just moments ago.
We arrived at the table on the turn in a hand that was playing blind on blind between Eric (bb) and Ben Underwood (sb). The board read 
and Ben had a 35K bet in front of him with a healthy preflop and flop pot already collected. Eric chose to raise to 100K and found a call. The river came 
and Ben checked, only to face Eric’s bet of 250K. Ben thought for several moments but eventually folded – and Eric collected the pot. It’s these little-danger pots that Eric picks up that makes him such a threat in every tournament he enters.
