In a battle of former SHRP champs, Victor Figueroa (2012 RRPO) and Eric Afriat (2014 WPT Showdown) were heads up with the board complete and reading . Figueroa was facing a bet of 14,000, he though for a moment, called the bet, and mucked when Afriat tabled for the full house.

Afriat moved over 100,000 while Figueroa will need to rebuild.

Eric Afriat – 108,000 (270 bb)
Victor Figueroa – 2,900 (7 bb)

With all these champions and wizards in the field from around the world, it’s a local regular leading the pack after the second break. Walter Bravo returned to a stack worth 160,000 and is the clear leader heading to the midpoint of the day.
