Grafton's Kicker Barely Plays

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Sam Grafton raised it up from the button and Samuel Vousden defended from the big blind. The flop came {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Vousden check-called a bet of 27,000 from Grafton.

The turn brought the {4-Hearts} and Vousden checked again. Grafton tossed in another bet of 125,000 and Vousden called to see the {7-Hearts} on the river. Both players knuckled the table and Vousden turned over {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Grafton held {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and his eight-kicker was just enough to earn him the entire pot.

Pekarek's Lead Trimmed

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Jeremy Pekarek opened to 35,000 and Daniel Rezaei called. Pekarek check-called 35,000 on the {4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Diamonds} flop and a further 153,000 from Rezaei on the {2-Spades} turn.

The river was the {4-Hearts} and Pekarek checked once again. Rezaei moved all in for 428,000 and Pekarek went into the tank, flicking out a time extension.

"Guess you could have eights full?" he said. "God, I want to bust you so bad. So fucking bad..."

Eventually, he folded, with Rezaei mucking his cards.

"You would show if you bluffed me," said Pekarek, who headed away from the tournament area on a short walk.
