In a hand before Francesco Grieco raised to 100,000 and then folded to pressure by Davidi Kitai.

Castaignon was well ahead with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades} and the Italian was sent to the rail in 13th place after a board of {4-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {9-Spades}.

Fabio Sperling limped from the small blind and then folded to the all in of Davidi Kitai from one seat over. Exactly one hand later, the action folded to the Belgian and he moved all in again. Remi Castaignon asked the dealer for a count and then made the call, putting Kitai at risk for his last 650,000 chips.

Kitai: {K-Spades} {9-Clubs}
Castaignon: {A-Diamonds} {5-Spades}

The Belgian found no love on the {6-Clubs} {2-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} flop, but improved on the {9-Diamonds} turn. Castaignon then hit the {A-Clubs} on the river to send the ever-so-dangerous Belgian to the rail in 10th place for €59,970.

Sam Grafton On Being Sam Grafton

Level 28 : 30,000/60,000, 1,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Sam Grafton is out of the Main Event, but sometimes that’s how it goes. Frankly though Grafton is too good to leave out, even if he’s no longer playing any part in the Main Event. It’s not just his ability on the table, it’s that his performance this week was nothing more than an extension of his personality away from it, one that, you may have noticed, is a little different to most others—the clothes, the hair, the glasses, the gregarious bonhomie towards fellow player, as the PokerStars Blog reports.
