Grafton Gaining

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Sam Grafton had quite a profitable bubble period, winning a couple of nice pots when he was dealt back to back aces. He joked with the French dealer that he was making it too obvious and he should mix it up a bit and deal him kings from time to time instead.

Grafton had earlier tweeted a picture of the player on his left, Dylan Linde, to find out more about him and then doubled him up. Since then they have been getting on famously but there are no friends at the poker table.

Grafton opened for 11,000 and Linde three-bet to 28,000. It folded back round to Grafton who asked how much he started with and heard it was around 230,000. A short time for Grafton to weigh up his decision and then he flicked his cards away.

Player	Chips	Progress
Sam Grafton	380,000 95,000	95,000

Dylan Linde	240,000 40,000	40,000
