Graziano's Jacks

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Rick Block and Newton Graziano got into a preflop raising war that saw the former ship it in and the latter call it off for his tournament life.

Block had the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}, but Graziano was holding the {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and never really had to sweat it, as the board rolled out {q-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}, making him a full house.

The double didn't hurt Block much, but it was much needed for Graziano, who had been bleeding chips all level long.
