Matt Graham

Four players, including Matt Graham and Jose Tavares saw a flop of {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{6-Spades}

. Tavares checked from the big blind, his early position opponent checked, Graham bet 7,000 and the button called. With the action back on Tavares, he potted to 38,000, earning a fold from the early position player. Graham, however, moved all in, and the button got out of the way before Tavares made the call.

Tavares had bottom two pair and a gutshot straight draw, while Graham was looking at top pair and an open-ended straight draw. Graham filled it on the turn when the {5-Clubs}

landed and dragged the pot once the {A-Diamonds}

fell on the river, eliminating Tavares in 50th place.

After the hand, Graham was up to 145,000.
