Grafton Gives Up

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante

The board fell {j-Spades}{q-Spades}{6-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}, and with close to 35,000 in the middle, Sam Grafton checked from the hijack.

His opponent bet 21,000 from the cutoff and Graton went into the tank.

Grafton clearly had a tough decision to make and pondered his next move for over a minute, but as the seconds ticked by, the Brit decided to fold, and his opponent stacked the chips from the pot.

Kurtzman Wins Big With Straight Flush

Level 3 : 200/300, 300 ante
Eric Kurtzman
Eric Kurtzman

Aliaksei Boika was seen departing from Table #441 in Amazon Purple, in what was described as "the craziest hand I've ever seen" by one player at the table.

Boika held {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}, Steven Highfill held {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}, and Eric Kurtzman held {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

With board down {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-}{q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}, all the money went into the middle on the river.

Highfill had the ace-high flush, and Boika a full house, but neither player could beat Kurtzman who had a straight flush.

Kurtzman had Boika covered, and Highfill survived but was left with just 3,000 to spin up with Kurtzman moving up to a massive 230,000.

[Removed:550] Shoves the River

Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante

The board fell {5-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{k-Spades}, and with around 40,000 in the middle, Anuj [Removed:550] moved all in for 34,000 from the small blind.

His opponent in the big blind went into the tank and contemplated his decision for close to 90 seconds before frustratingly passing his cards to the dealer.

Anuj and his opponent shared a smile before Anuj took in the pot and moved up to 74,000.
