Grafton Wins One; Loses Bigger One
Level 11
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sam Grafton opened 20,000, and both Pedro Marques on the button and David Coleman in the big blind made the call.
All three players checked to the J?5?3?4? turn, where Coleman and Marques both surrendered to a bet of 25,000 from Grafton.
The following hand, Grafton opened under the gun and only Aleksejs Ponakovs came along from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of K?7?3?, and Ponakovs check-raised a bet of 20,000 to 52,000. Grafton called.
When the 5? hit the turn, Ponakovs checked and Grafton fired 40,000 across the line. After giving it almost 30 seconds, Ponakovs check-raised once again, this time to 145,000 and Grafton snap-mucked.
