Huge Setup Catapults Gafford into the Lead

Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

In a single-raised pot, the flop came down A♥10♦9♦, and Bradley Gafford checked from the big blind. In the cutoff, Min Ji bet 400,000, and Gafford called.

What was an innocuous pot thus far changed completely on the J♠ turn. Gafford checked, Ji bet 750,000, Gafford check-raised to 1,900,000, Ji shoved all in, and Gafford called all in for 6,900,000 total, all of a sudden creating the largest pot of the tournament thus far.

Bradley Gafford: 8♣7♠ All in
Min Ji: J♥J♦

Ji was looking for the board to pair, but the 3♠ on the river kept Gafford's straight in the lead to scoop the significant pot.
