Sam Grafton, pictured in an earlier event.

Sam Grafton was one of the stars of the early days of the World Series of Poker Main Event this summer, bagging up one of the top stacks on Day 1 and reveling in his status as one of the leaders. He's off to a similar start here in Europe as we noted him dragging a few pots.

First, he checked a flop from the big blind and saw an opponent bet 675. Grafton clicked back and induced a fold.
