Graham Takes a Huge Chip Lead

On a flop of {9-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {5-Spades}, Bellande check-called a bet from Graham. The same action occurred on the turn of the {6-Diamonds} and river of the {8-Clubs}.

At showdown, Graham showed {8-Hearts} {6-Clubs} and Bellande showed {A-?} {8-?}. At first, spectators thought that Bellande had won until it was pointed out that Graham has eights and sixes.

After the hand, Graham moved up to 1,850,000 in chips. Bellande has 850,000.
