Battle of the Blinds for Grafton and Polk

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

In a hand that occurred on the live stream, Sam Grafton three-bet to 14,000 from the small blind (with {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}). Doug Polk was in the big blind, and he re-raised, making it 36,300 (with {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}).

Action was back to Grafton, and he tanked for about a minute before announcing that he was all in with a covering stack. Polk quickly released, and that allowed Grafton to take down the pot without a showdown.

Polk is still sitting in a decent position with right around 150,000, while Grafton moved further up the leaderboard, inching closer to 500,000.
