Grafton Bests Orpaz in Battle of the Blinds
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Tom Orpaz limped in from the small blind and Sam Grafton checked from the big blind.
The flop came 4♦4♥8♥. Orpaz checked and Grafton bet 5,000 which was called by Orpaz.
Action repeated itself on the 6♥ turn with Orpaz check-calling another bet from Grafton, this time for 15,000.
Orpaz checked again on the 10♣ river and Grafton bet 35,000. Orpaz made the call.
Grafton tabled Q♥8♣ for two pair, eights and fours which was good enough to take the pot.
