Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
On a flop of 9?7?7?, Eric Sfez on the button and Eric Afriat in the hijack raised each other and ended up moving all in, with Sfez being the player at risk for 900,000 chips.
Eric Sfez: A?A?
Eric Afriat: 7?6?
Afriat flopped trips, and it held on the turn 5? and the river Q?.
When he saw the river land on the felt, Afriat stood up, saying "Yes, I smashed him." Sfez, who heard this sentence, didn't like it at all and became furious. He eventually left the tournament area as he was eliminated.
After he bagged his chips, Afriat had a talk with the tournament director and received a one-round penalty for the beginning of Day 4.
