Grafton Gives Up on the River
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Adrian Mateos raised to 9,000 from the hijack and faced a three-bet to 27,000 from Sam Grafton on the button. Mateos complied with a call and a flop of 6?J?6? was fanned out.
Mateos checked to Grafton and the latter bet out 21,000. Mateos made the call and did again when Grafton upped the ante to 52,000 on the 4? turn.
Mateos checked for a third time on the 10? river and Grafton reluctantly followed suit after using a time bank extension. Mateos tabled 7?7? and his pocket pair won him this sizable pot.
