Gradowski's Stack Raided By Croft
Charles Croft made it 14,000 to go from under the gun, and small blind Joe Gradowski three-bet to 35,000. Croft called, and it was off to the flop. Gradowski continued out with 43,000 chips, but Croft promptly made a small raise to 90,000 total. His opponent called, and the action went check-check on the turn.
That brought them to the river that paired the board, and Gradowski moved all in for about 195,000 total. Croft took several long minutes to think it over, eventually making what would prove to be a fine call. He turned up , and we'd never get to see Gradowski's cards as they went into the muck. He's out in 27th place, good for $3,800.
Don't look now, but Charles Croft has a massive stack after that pot. We have him at about 690,000 with nearly a 2:1 chip lead over his nearest challengers.
