Sam "SamSquid" Grafton Eliminated in 21st Place ($49,894)
Level 31
: Blinds 70,000/140,000, 17,500 ante
"Thurpan" raised to 280,000 from middle position and Ivan "ILS007" Stokes three-bet to 910,000 from the cutoff. Sam "SamSquid" Grafton then four-bet to 3,220,000 from the big blind, only leaving himself 391,766 behind. "Thurpan" folded but Stokes moved in for the rest and Grafton made the call.
Sam "SamSquid" Grafton: A♣K♣
Ivan "ILS007" Stokes: J♠J♦
It was a classic flip, and this time it would be Stokes who was victorious when the board ran out 9♦7♠10♥5♦10♣. Grafton was the last member of Team PokerStars to still be in the Main Event but his deep run came to a halt in 21st place.
