Malec Battles Grafton
Level 6
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Approximately 18,500 was in the middle on a turn board of 
with Sam Grafton in the big blind and Sebastian Malec in the cutoff.
The PokerStars Ambassador checked to the 2016 EPT Barcelona champion, and Malec put out a bet of 6,000, which Grafton called.
On the river 
, Grafton quickly checked again and after some deliberation, Malec opted to check back.
Grafton showed 
for top pair with a ten kicker, but he was just pipped by Malec's 
for top pair with a jack kicker, leaving Grafton with just above two-thirds of his starting stack.
