Matt Graham Trying to Rebuild

A short stacked Matt Graham raised to 350 from under the gun and got called by the button.

Graham bet another 350 on the flop of {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} and both players checked the {A-Hearts} on the turn. Graham led for 850 more when the {2-Hearts} hit the river and his opponent said "You're a nice guy, I'll give you 850," before making the call.

Graham turned over {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} for second pair and took the pot. He's now got just over 5,000 chips.
