Graham FlopsOutOfTourney

Graham: gone-ski.
Graham: gone-ski.
Jarred 'FlopNutsOnYou' Graham has been sent to the rail after first being crippled by Stephen 'The Big Show' Topakas, then KO'ed at the hands of Jai Kemp.

Topakas was in the small blind preflop, Kemp was in the big blind and Dean Nyberg straddled for 200. Graham re-straddled to 300 and Nathan re-re-straddled on the button to 400.

Topakas looked down at his hand and then made it 2,050 to go. Graham was the only caller but Topakas went all-in in the dark before the flop of {8-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Graham made the call and the cards were rolled up:

Topakas: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Graham: {Q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

The turn and river bricked out {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} to leave Graham crippled.

He moved all in a few hands later with {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}, only to run into Kemp's {A-Clubs}{3-Spades}. The flop of {A-?}{2-?}{J-?} paired Kemp's ace but gave Graham's hand a slim chance of straight. There was no help as the turn and river bricked out.
