"It's my new poker face," Sam Grafton said to his table. "It's to look side like you."
Grafton gestured to fellow Brit Ben Heath.
"Look like I'm close to tears."
"But some players look angry," contributed Orpen Kisacikoglu.
"Yeah," said Grafton. "Like [2019 bracelet winner] Joao Vieira. I'm like, are we going to get in a fight?"
Whatever poker face Grafton has been pulling so far in the $100,000 High Roller, it's been working after he chipped up in an earlier pot against Yusuke Takahashi.
