Huge Hero Call from Grafton

OllieGarland

Nível 8 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Mikita Badziakouski raised to 5,000 from the button. Sam Grafton three-bet to 22,500 from the big blind and Badziakouski made the call.

Grafton continued for 16,000 on a flop of J♠6♥3♥. Badziakouski was undettered.

The 8♠ turn checked through to the 8♦ on the river. Grafton checked again before Badziakouski quickly placed a bet of 125,000, an effective all-in with just one T-500 chip left behind.

With Badziakouski not all-in, Grafton exclaimed "At least I won't have to show my hand," as he continued to think. Eventually making the call, Badziakouski tabled Q♥10♥ for missed flush & straight draws. Grafton claimed the pot as he showed A♥7♠ for just ace-high. Badziakouski was soon seen making his way to the reentry desk.
