Grafton Misses the Freeroll

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sam Grafton opened to 6,000 from under the gun and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau three-bet to 26,000 in the cutoff. Daniel Dvoress four-bet shoved all in for 188,000 in the big blind and Grafton re-shoved over the top. Vaskaboinikau sighed as he leaned back in his chair and ultimately decided to lay down {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} face up.

Daniel Dvoress: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Sam Grafton: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Both players held the same hand but on the flop of {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, Grafton picked up the flush draw. The {7-Spades} and {10-Diamonds} runout bricked out and both players took their chips back.

"I call," Vaskaboinakau said in hindsight.

"If you called, I would have been very excited on the flop," Grafton emphasized. "Very excited!"
