McCue-Unciano Goes for Broke

Level 18 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Picking up the action on the turn with the board reading {k-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, there were still three players alive in the hand. Sam Grafton checked from the small blind and Kainalu McCue-Unciano bet 550,000 from under the gun. James Chen folded the button and Grafton called.

The river was the {4-Diamonds} and Grafton checked again. McCue-Unciano pushed out a bet of 1,100,000, leaving himself with only 10,000 behind. Grafton thought for a brief moment but then slung his cards to the muck.

Level 17 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
