Olechnowicz Cracks Grafton's Aces on the River

Sam Grafton raised to 2,800 in early position and Aaron Olechnowicz called in the big blind.

The flop came 5♥6♠2♣ and Grafton bet 2,400. Olechnowicz called.

The turn was the Q♣ and Grafton bet another 18,000, which Olechnowicz called as they went to the 6♣ river.

Grafton then bet 25,000 and could barely finish putting the chips in the middle before Olechnowicz announced he was all in.

Grafton jokingly asked the big-stacked Olechnowicz how much he had left as he began pondering the decision for his last 35,000. "What do you have, bro?" he asked Olechnowicz.

"Something," Olechnowicz said.

"Something good?" Grafton asked.

"Something good, or something bad," Olechnowicz replied.

"I shouldn't have bet the river. It was a mistake. If I could take it back I would. I'm thinking about making a bad call," Grafton added before he finally tossed in his last chips.

Olechnowicz turned over 9♣7♣ for a rivered flush and Grafton threw A♥A♣ into the muck before he made his exit.

Dominik Nitsche and Felipe Boianovsky are also at this table with big stacks, though none can match Olechnowicz's now massive wall of chips.
