Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player in middle position opened the action with a raise to 1,200. The cutoff player called and Kevin Grabel defended his big blind.

Action checked to the cutoff player who fired 10,000 into the middle on 9♦9♠2♣ before Grabel check-raised to 25,000. The initial raiser folded and the cutoff player reluctantly mucked after what looked like a misclick.

Grabel took advantage of the situation as he added another pile of chips, to his table leading stack.
