Top Set No Good for Graham

In a limped pot on a flop of {10-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}, the action was with Daniel "amichaiKK" Makowsky who checked to Matt Graham. Graham fired out 425. John Duthie then announced a raise to 1,550, which Makowsky called.

The action was then back with Graham, who put in another raise, making it 5,050 to go. Duthie got out of the way and Makowsky decided to move all in. Graham called and the cards were tabled.

Graham: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Makowsky: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{4-Spades}

Makowsky tabled queens with a straight draw, but Graham was in front with his top set of tens. The turn bricked the {2-Hearts} but the river was the {8-Clubs} to give Makowsky the straight and the pot.

Makowsky is up to 18,000 with Graham at 13,000. However, both players still have their two red rebuy chips safely in hand.
