After a flop of Diamond 6Heart 5Club 5, Jeff Platt checks the big blind, Eric Afriat bets 35,000 from the cutoff, and Platt check-raises to 105,000. Afriat three-bets it to 180,000, and Platt thinks for a while before he calls.

The turn card is the Diamond 7, and both players check.

The river card is the Diamond A, Platt bets 230,000, and Afriat thinks for a while before he folds. Platt takes the pot.

Afriat and Platt agree to show their cards, and Afriat reveals Spade QClub Q for two pair, queens and fives.

Platt turns over Diamond 10Diamond 5 for flopped trip fives that turned into a diamond flush as he pulls in the pot.

Dan Sepiol says to Afriat, “How are we supposed to get any of your chips if you fold there?”

Jeff Platt  –  1,225,000  (82 bb)
Eric Afriat  –  1,725,000  (115 bb)
