Grafton Loses All to Korobkin and Gierse
Sam "SamSquid" Grafton raised to 7,000 from the hijack and "SHIR-1968" called on the button. Ilya "thienlao21" Korobkin three-bet to 29,400 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Grafton four-bet shoved. "SHIR-1968" folded but Korobkin called for the 126,780 he had behind.
Sam "SamSquid" Grafton: 
Ilya "thienlao21" Korobkin: 
The board ran out 
for Korobkin to hold with the higher pocket pair for the bigger full house to double up and leave Grafton behind with 32,279.
Two hands later, Grafton shoved from under the gun for 31,579 and the action folded to "srp1981" and Marius "DEX888" Gierse in the blinds who made the calls.
The flop came 
, "srp1981" check-folded to the 21,000 bet of Gierse.
Sam "SamSquid" Grafton: 
Marius "DEX888" Gierse: 
Gierse had flopped two pair to leave Grafton in some need of help with the lower two pair.
The rest of the board was completed with the 
on the turn and the 
on the river for both their two pairs to get counterfeited but for Gierse to hold with the higher kicker to claim Grafton's bounty.
