Samokovski Chipping Up Early
Level 3
: 100/200, 200 ante
Simon Samokovski is off to a fast start today, having taken down several sizable pots, including a small one from two-time WPT champion Eric Afriat.
In that hand Afriat raised from middle position to 600, and when it folded around to Samokovski, he made the call from his big blind. After Samokovski check-called the 900 continuation bet from Afriat on the 
flop, both players checked the 
turn. Samokovski then led out on the 
river for 2,100, which was enough to get Afriat to muck his hand.
