Graydon Cripples Valle

We heard the cry of "all in and a call" as we arrived to Glafiro Valle's table, and we saw that Valle himself was involved in the big hand. Valle held {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, but his opponent, Mick Graydon, had {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}. The pot was worth over 400,000, so this was a pivotal moment in the tournament for both players.

The flop was safe for Graydon, coming {j-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}. The turn kept him out in front, coming the {6-Diamonds}, and a disappointed Valle didn't even bother looking at the river, which was the {7-Hearts}. Valle was left with just 11,000 after the hand, while Graydon is now one of our chip leaders.
