You Can’t Squid a Squidder

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Sam “SquidPoker” Grafton called a pre-flop raise of 1,000 in the cut-off from an under the gun raiser. The blinds folded and they saw a flop of {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}. The raiser continued for 1,500 and Grafton made the call. {k-Clubs} on the turn and this time Grafton faced a bet of 2,000; again he called. The river card was the {2-Clubs}. Last chance to bet and this time Grafton had the sum of 3,350 to consider. Consider it he did, turning over possible hands in his mind before finally making the call. His opponent sheepishly turned over {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Grafton showed him the winning {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. “Nearly?” he was asked, meaning was he close to folding. Maybe, but not near enough.
