Sam Grafton

Jack Sinclair raised to 7,000 and was called by Terry Bordon and Vadim Cojocaru. Sam Grafton then moved all in for 59,500 and Christopher Kyriacou jammed over the top to isolate successfully.

Sam Grafton: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Christopher Kyriacou: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}

On a board of {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}, Kyriacou turned the nut straight to send Grafton packing. Kyriacou also three-bet jammed the net hand and this time there was no showdown that followed.

Moorman Jams Into Chamani

Level 8 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Picking up the action on the {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{6-Spades}{Q-Hearts} turn, Ronit Chamani checked over to Chris Moorman and called the bet of 26,000 that followed. On the {3-Spades} river, Chamani checked and Moorman moved all in.

Chamani used one time bank extension before asking for a count, and once it was deemed to be for 57,500, let her 30 seconds to act run down before sending her cards into the muck.

Heidorn Loses "Classic Coinflip" to Jordon

Level 7 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Robert Heidorn
Robert Heidorn

Jack Sinclair bet the {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} flop for 5,000 in the cutoff and Terry Jordon on the button called. The {8-Spades} turn went check, check, and on the {3-Diamonds} river a bet of 35,000 did the trick for Sinclair to force a fold from his opponent.

One hand later, Jordon raised and Robert Heidorn three-bet all in for 41,000, Jordon called.

Robert Heidorn: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Terry Jordon: {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

"That's a classic coinflip," Sam Grafton in the two seat joked. Heidorn fell behind on the {K-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{9-Spades} flop and picked up no help on the {5-Hearts} turn and {2-Clubs} river.
