Saved by the River
Level 11
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
On a flop reading 
, Mike Leah led out from under the gun for 80,000 into a pot of around 150,000. Eric Afriat was his only opponent and made the call from late position.
The 
fell on the turn and Leah bet 200,000, which Afriat instantly called. The river brought the 
and Leah fired another 525,000. Afriat thought for a moment but elected to send his cards to the muck.
"That was a bad river," Afriat said.
"It saved one of us. It might have been you, it might have been me," Leah responded. He then proceeded to tell Afriat he flopped top set, correctly guessing the exact queen Afriat was holding.
