Gray Doubles Through Saffioti

[user75032]

The action on the last hand was a bit curious; the action on this hand was downright strange. Jason Gray opened for 80,000 and was called by Frank Saffioti out of the blinds. Saffioti checked on a flop of {3-Clubs}

, then called a bet of 150,000 from Gray.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}

. Saffioti checked again. This time Gray bet 200,000, leaving himself only 270,000 behind. Saffioti fumbled with his chips as he cut out the 200,000, then announced he was all in. Gray quickly called.

Saffioti: {A-Diamonds}

Gray:

Saffioti's ace-king had not improved on the flop or turn, making his all-in raise the equivalent of a stone bluff. He was drawing dead against Gray's aces. The pot was shipped to Gray after the dealer peeled the {J-Diamonds}
