Graham Cracker

Matthew Graham was all in for his tournament life before the flop holding {K-Spades}{k-Diamonds} and was called by Max Steinberg's {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

Graham was safe on the flop of {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Hearts} but the entire table let out groans and "oh my god's" when the river was the {J-Clubs} to give Steinberg an open-ended straight draw. The river was the {K-Clubs}, however, giving Graham a set of kings and the winning hand.

At the same time on an adjacent table Jordan Spear was eliminated from play.
