Grafton Gone
Level 4
: 150/300, 25 ante
We missed the action, but Sam Grafton was kind enough to recap his final hand for us.
The player under the gun opened with a raise and the next two players to act called. Grafton shipped his short stack all in and the original raiser called. The player under the gun plus one folded but the next player called as well.
Grafton: 
Under the Gun: 
+2:
Grafton paired his queen on the river but it was all for naught as the player under the gun turned a third ten and scooped the pot. Grafton was eliminated from play and is currently having a good time railing Joseph Cheong who is also sporting a short stack.
