Great Call, Unlucky River
Niveau 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
On a heads-up flop of 
, Nader Arfai led out for 18,000, but then his opponent Yehuda Buchalter ripped it all in for 45,000, which sent Arfai into the tank.
"You're not worried I have pocket fives?" Arfai inquired.
Buchalter peeked at his cards and replied, "Nope".
After a few more moments, Arfai pushed his chips into the middle to call, putting Buchalter at risk as they tabled their hands.
Yehuda Buchalter: 
Nader Arfai: 
It seemed Arfai had made the correct call, and the turn 
improved him to top set, but the river was cruel and delivered the 
to give Buchalter the flush he was chasing.
Arfai was left with only 600 chips as Buchalter climbed to 105,000.
