Grafton Near The Top

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

One of our German colleagues just informed us of a very interesting hand in which Sam Grafton picked up a lot of chips. Grafton was moved to a table with Toby Lewis, Dario Minieri and Vanessa Selbst after which the following hand happened.

Grafton made a raise preflop and the player on the button called. Gerald Karlic three-bet to 1,300 from the big blind and both Grafton and the button, former EPT Baden winner Thang Duc Nguyen, made the call. The flop brought {4-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Karlic bet 2,350, Grafton called and Nguyen folded.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and Karlic bet 4,200, Grafton called once again.

On the river the {Q-Diamonds} hit and Karlic bet 11,600. Grafton moved all in and Karlic had to decide for his final 15,000 chips. Karlic made a crying call and Grafton showed {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}. Karlic's {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} were tabled and he was knocked out.

Chouity's Queen-High Is Better

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The board read {A-Spades}{K-Spades}{A-Clubs} and we saw Nicolas Chouity lead for 700. The player to his immediate left folded and Michael Mizrachi flat called. One more player mucked his hand and we were heads up to fourth street.

Chouity checked when the {9-Clubs} fell and Mizrachi fired 1,300. Chouity stuck around. Fifth street was the {3-Hearts} and Chouity checked. Mizrachi tapped the table right back and showed {Q-Spades}{7-Spades} for a busted flush draw.

Chouity rolled over {Q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a busted draw as well, but his queen-high reigned supreme as the best hand of the two. The pot was pushed to Chouity and he's now sitting on about 40,000. The Grinder, however, has fallen to 22,000.

David Williams has exited the building.

Multiple players took to a {3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop and [Removed:119] bet 2,000 from the big blind. He was called in one spot before the button raised to 5,400. The Team Pro three-bet all in for 21,000 from the small blind with {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}.

Bensadoun called with {a-Hearts}{9-Spades} and the button called with {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}! The board ran out {9-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and Bensadoun scooped the lot with trip nines.

Patel Fires River

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The board read {7-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} when we came upon the table. Hiren Patel was heads up with Ramzi Jelassi and Jelassi had just fired out a bet of 2,600. Patel called to see the final card.

The dealer produced the {5-Clubs} on fifth street and Jelassi slowed down with a check. Patel moved 5,850 into the middle and Jelassi quickly released. Patel picked up the pot and is now sitting on about 51,000 in chips.

Max Pressure From Charania

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

We caught the action when a player with 1,550 invested called a bigger raise from Mohsin Charania who had 4,500 out in front of him. These two players went heads up to the flop.

The flop brought {J-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Charania bet 5,575, his opponent made the call. On the turn the {6-Diamonds} popped up and Charania threw five blue 25,000-chips to the middle to put his opponent all in. Charania's opponent had only 16,000 left and thought about it for a while.

"Show me if I fold?" he asked.

Charania sat motionless as his opponent kept staring him down.

"You got aces?" he continued before finally saying, "You win," as he tabled {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}. Charania didn't show any sign of relief or happiness as he raked in this big pot.
