Graham's River Bet Is Enough

Lunkin makes it 250,000 from the button and Graham makes the call in the big blind.

The flop is {10-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} and both players check, the turn is the {10-Hearts} and again both players check. The river is the {10-Clubs} and Graham bets the pot of 500,000 and Lunkin makes the fold.

Graham Straight to Chip Lead

Matt Graham
Matt Graham
Matt Graham raised to 250,000 from the button and Vitaly Lunkin called in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs} and both players checked. The turn brought the {10-Diamonds} and Lunkin checked but this time Graham fired out a bet of 280,000. Lunkin deliberately cut out calling chips and slid them into the middle.

The river landed the {6-Spades} and after another check from Lunkin, Graham made it 750,000 to go. Lunkin quickly called but couldn't better the {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} of Graham for the queen-high straight. Lunkin reluctantly handed over the chips and the chip lead in a massive swing.

Graham Gets One Back

Matt Graham min-raised the button to 200,000 and Vitaly Lunkin prepared himself by putting on his sunglasses before making the call.

The flop landed {6-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} and Lunkin checked to Graham who fired 275,000. Lunkin made the call.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and Lunkin checked to Graham who released a second barrel worth 525,000. It was enough to take it down as Lunkin tossed his cards into the muck.

Lunkin Takes First Blood

Lunkin' Good...
Lunkin' Good...
Lunkin raises to 240,000 on the button and Matt Graham calls.

{10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

Graham check-calls 200,000 from Lunkin.

{J-Hearts}

Graham checks again, Lunkin bets 400,000 this time and Graham calls a second time.

{A-Spades}

Graham checks a third time, Lunkin bets 1,000,000 and Graham folds.

First crucial pot goes to Lunkin.

Chip Counts:

There's a short delay before we start the HU:

Matt Graham -- 4,500,000
Vitaly Lunkin -- 4,350,000

It's the classic match up. USA vs Russia.

Or as I like to call it. Rocky IV.

NB: Vitaly has not declared that Matt Graham's 'Chin is made of iron!' yet.

Graham Close to the Chip Lead

Vitaly Lunkin limped from the button and Matt Graham checked his option in the big blind.

The flop came down {Q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} and Graham checked to Lunkin who tossed out 100,000. Graham made the call.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and this time Graham led out for 360,000 with Lunkin snap-calling.

The river was a repeat {7-Spades} and both players check. Graham tabled {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} for a straight for the best hand as he is now very close to the tournament chip lead.
