Grafton Starts a Bluff
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The action was caught on the 
flop when Sam Grafton had just check-raised Thi Xao Nguyen's unidentified flop bet to 14,000 chips. Nguyen called and the two saw the 
turn.
Grafton slowed down and checked, leading to Nguyen betting 16,000. Grafton did not have to think long before he called. The river brought the 
and both players checked.
Grafton was first to show and tabled 
. The turned pair was good enough, because Nguyen threw her hand into the muck. ''I was starting a bluff!,'' Grafton remarked while he stacked his newly acquired chips.
