Grafton Binks a Double
According to Jussi Nevanlinna, the biggest pot of the Finn came off a three-way flop of 
when Nevanlinna raised from 65,000 to 190,000 on the button and picked up one caller. His sole remaining opponent then check-called 175,000 on the 
turn before check-folding the 
river to a shove.
It was also Nevanlinna who opened to 30,000 in the last hand of the level and Sam Grafton then three-bet to 76,000 in the small blind. Paul Byrne reraised to 205,000 and Nevanlinna folded, Grafton then shoved. Byrne asked for a count and eventually called Grafton's shove for 495,000.
"I am begging you, don't make me pay more money in this comp," Grafton joked when the cards were turned over.

"Black cards please," Grafton added and the flop fell 
. "That's a good start," the always vocal Brit stated, and his double was confirmed with the 
turn, making the 
river a formality.
