Sam Grafton raised to 12,000 from the cutoff, receiving calls from Justin Saliba in the small blind and Nick Petrangelo in the big blind.

The J♠ river saw Petrangelo empty the clip, moving all in for Grafton's effective stack of 206,000. Grafton nearly beat him into the pot with a call for his tournament life.

Sam Grafton: 6♠6♦ All in
Nick Petrangelo: 5♠2♣

Petrangelo Bemused; Winter Short

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo opened to 13,000 and Sean Winter three-bet to 60,000 with 35,000 behind.

Tom Orpaz then appeared to put out 15,000, possibly just to call Petrangelo's initial open, but after being prompted by Sam Grafton he called the 60,000.

It folded back around to Petrangelo who appeared pleasantly confused. "Good sizing," he said to Winter before shaking his head and folding.

The flop came Q♠J♥10♣ and Winter checked. Orpaz bet enough to put Winter all in, and he used his full 30 seconds before folding. Orpaz flashed the A♣ and took down the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Nick Petrangelo	510,000 50,000	50,000
Tom Orpaz	290,000 40,000	40,000

The pot stood at 18,000 in a blind versus blind confrontation with the flop reading 8♦Q♥6♥.

Coleman rolled over 7♦4♥, while Thorel easily claimed this pot with a turned set with 10♦10♥.

Kaverman check-called a 16,000 bet from Astedt on the 4♦K♠Q♠ flop and both players checked on the J♦ turn.

The 2♦ completed the board and Kaverman checked again, prompting a 50,000 bet from Astedt. Kaverman tanked, but eventually found a fold with his pair of jacks and Astedt collected the pot.
