PokerStars Ambassador Grafton Loses a Big One

Sam "SamSquid" Grafton, in the cutoff, called the raise to 375 by "popolof8960" from under the gun, as did the big blind, "UngarStuKID1".

On the Q♥2♠J♦ flop, Grafton called the bet of 449 from "popolof8960", while the big blind got out the way. On the 8♦ turn, "popolof8960" opted to check to his opponent, who took the opportunity to fire out a bet of 3,000, which was called.

Following another check on the 4♠ river, action was left on Grafton. With the pot already representing nearly 80% of his remaining stack, he went nearly all-in, betting 10,650, leaving himself just 332 chips behind. When "popolof8960" moved all in, Grafton folded, leaving himself with just over two big blinds, and a trip to the virtual re-buy line increasingly likely.
