We came on a big hand brewing between Sam Grafton and the player sitting to his left. They'd reached the river with the board showing 
and about 30,000 in the middle. Grafton's opponent had a stack of 25,500 sitting in front of him, and Grafton had a tall column of orange chips and the "ALL IN" black disc sitting in front of him, indicating either a bet-raise-shove situation or possibly a check, raise, and all-in reraise.
Grafton's opponent tanked for some time before folding, and now Grafton is up close to 170,000.
