Graves Plants One in the Ground

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

On a flop of {j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}, a player led out for 1,500 and Chad Graves just called. The player on the button then raised to a little over 5,000, the bettor folded, and Graves announced that he was all in. The button called off for roughly 9,000 total and discovered the bad news.

Graves: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Button: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Both players had flopped top pair, but it was Graves' ace kicker that made all the difference. The {A-Diamonds} turn gave Graves two pair, but it also delivered the button a gutshot Broadway straight draw.

"Blank," Graves requested. The dealer obliged and put out the {3-Diamonds}, giving Graves the knock out.
