Jarred "FlopNutsOnYou" Graham has been three-bet the last two hands he's opened forcing him to fold. The folds have both been insta-folds and Graham looks to be getting a bit frustrated with things.
He's dropped to 620,000 after being well over a million chips coming out of the last break. He's decided to take a walk and has wandered over to chat with Team PokerStars Pro and former APPT Sydney Grand Final champ Grant Levy. Levy reassured Graham to keep playing his game and shake off the last couple bumps in the road.
