Grafton Goes Huge

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 250 ante

"Uki.KRK" raised to 4,000 from under the gun and the action folded to Sam "SamSquid" Grafton in the big blind, who opted to defend. Both players then checked the Q?5?5? flop before Grafton fired a huge bet 30,000 chip bet on the 4? turn, almost three times the size of the pot.

That did not deter "Uki.KRK" from making the call, however, and the 4? river was dealt thereafter. Grafton decided to go for another big over-bet, for a total of 150,000 this time, still more than double the pot.

"Uki.KRK" looked Grafton up for the final time, and the PokerStars Ambassador could only show 8?7? for a failed bluff attempt. Meanwhile, "Uki.KRK" was sitting on A?A? for pocket aces, which won him the gigantic pot.
