Grafton Gets Away

Sam Grafton opened to 52,000 in the small blind with 8♥8♣ and Niklas Astedt called in the big blind with J♥7♣.

Both players checked on the 4♠7♦10♣ flop and Astedt called an 80,000 bet from Grafton on the 4♣ turn.

The J♦ river improved Astedt to the best two pair and Grafton checked. Astedt shoved, which was enough to put Grafton all in for his last 357,000.

Grafton went deep into the tank, but eventually made the correct laydown and Astedt collected the pot.
