Graham Continues to Slide

[user67765]

A now rather disgruntled Matt Graham raised to 250,000 from the button and Vitaly Lunkin made the call in the big blind.

The flop fell {Q-Diamonds}

and Lunkin checked to Graham who fired 325,000. Lunkin raised it up to 1 million and Graham insta-folded.

Chip counts:

Vitaly Lunkin - 6,450,000
Matt Graham - 2,400,000

Graham Doubles

[user67765]

Matt Graham limped the button and Vitaly Lunkin checked in the big blind. The flop fell {8-Diamonds}

and both checked.

The {a-Hearts}

was the turn and Lunkin checked to Graham who fired 150,000. Lunkin again made the call.

The river brought the {5-Spades}

and Lunkin led out with a bet before Graham moved all in. Lunkin called and the cards were tabled.

Graham: {6-Diamonds}

Lunkin:

It was straight over straight, with Graham's nine-high straight taking the pot and the double up! He's back to 3.2 million with Lunkin still in the lead.

Lunkin limps for 100,000 and Matt Graham raises to 300,000 which is enough to get rid of the Russian.

Matt Graham makes it 250,000 once more from the button and Lunkin makes the call.

The flop is {6-Diamonds}

and Lunkin checks to the raiser, who bets 300,000. Lunkin checks and rechecks his cards before eventually folding.

Lunkin raises the pot the next hand to win the blinds.

The turn is the {Q-Hearts}

Hate the Player, Not the Waiter

[user76023]

Oops. Before I thought it was the waiter who had thrown a bag of beef jerky into Scott Seiver's eye. It wasn't, it was actually one of the players at the final table.
