PokerStars Ambassador Grafton Loses a Big One
Level 3
: Blinds 75/150, 20 ante
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.

Five Figure Pot Won without Showdown
Level 3
: Blinds 75/150, 20 ante
Action was opened by "th@stitfolks" with a raise to 240. After a call from "OR1917mimohh" on the button, the small blind, "Hawmis", put in the three bet to 1,320. The original raiser called while the button folded.
On the 4♦2♦Q♣ flop, "Hawmis" chose to lead out for 1,061, earning a call from his opponent. He fired out another 3,489 on the 3♠ turn, receiving another call. When the A♦ hit the felt on the river, "Hawmis" slowed down, checking to his opponent, who fired out a bet of 7,560, a bit over half pot. "Hawmis" could not find the call, and "th@stitfolks" scooped one of the first five figure pots of the tournament.

Level 2

"xXROMmMEOXx" made another check-call on the 7♦ turn, this time to the size of 1,346. After another check following the A♦ on the river, "igormaister26" put out a bet of 2,340, which earned a call. He tabled his 5♣5♥ for a set. Once "xXROMmMEOXx" mucked his hand, the pot was pushed to "igormaister26", adding to his already impressive stack.
