Graham Finds Some Noise

Vitaly Lunkin raised to 250,000 from the button before Matt Graham popped it up another 500,000 from the big blind. Lunkin made call and they saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Graham bet the pot for 1.5 million and Lunkin gave it up to the roars of the Graham fan club in the audience.

Another For Graham

Matt Graham - On The Road To Recovery?
Matt Graham - On The Road To Recovery?
Graham limps in and Lunkin checks his option to see a {5-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} {10-Spades} flop. Lunkin checks and Graham bets 150,000 which the Russian calls speedily.

The turn is the {Q-Hearts} and Lunkin checks a second time carefully eyeing up his young opponent. Graham bets 425,000 and Lunkin quietly releases his hand.

Sparring

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} {2-Diamonds} {7-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.

Graham Doubles

Matt Graham limped the button and Vitaly Lunkin checked in the big blind. The flop fell {8-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-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}{9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Lunkin: {3-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}

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.

Graham Continues to Slide

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}{3-Diamonds}{8-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

Lunkin Doubles Up

Lunkin raises to 250,000 and wins Graham's big blind.

Graham raises to 250,000 and Lunkin folds.

Lunkin limps in and Graham checks. The flop is {A-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {4-Diamonds}, Graham checks and Lunkin bets 125,000. Graham pots it, Lunkin repots and they get it all-in.

Lunkin: {K-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {2-Clubs} for bottom two pair and the nut flush draw.

Graham: {A-Spades} {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {6-Spades} for top two pair.

The turn is the {Q-Diamonds} making Lunkin the flush and the river is the {5-Clubs} and the five or six Russian fans go mental.

Lunkin has a big chip lead now.

Graham Flushed with Chips

Matt Graham limped the button and Vitaly Lunkin checked in the big blind.

The flop fell {7-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Lunkin checked over to Graham who fired 125,000. Lunkin made the call.

The turn was the {10-Clubs} and both players checked. The river landed the {k-Hearts}. Lunkin checked once again to Graham who slid 425,000 into the middle. Again Lunkin called and Graham tabled {J-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{3-Clubs} for the flush.

Lunkin flashed the {10-Hearts} and mucked. Graham is certainly getting the better of this heads-up contest so far. He's up to 5.65 million with Lunkin back to 3.2 million.
