The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

{5-Diamonds}

and Graham checked to Lunkin who tossed out 100,000. Graham made the call.

The turn brought the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

and this time Graham led out for 360,000 with Lunkin snap-calling.

The river was a repeat {7-Spades}

{7-Spades}

and both players check. Graham tabled {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}
