Grafton Gets a Chunk from Baumann
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Gaelle Baumann made it 14,000 from under the gun, and two players called before Sam Grafton (pictured) raised to 50,000 from the button. Baumann made it 110,000 and only Grafton called.
The flop of 
saw both players check, but on the 
turn, Grafton's bet of 81,000 got a tank-fold from the stylish French pro. Baumann, however, slips to 195,000, while Grafton sits behind a tournament-high stack of just over 801,000. The biggest voice at the table on most days has largely been quiet today, but he's been joined at the felt by some elite tournament regulars, and he's shown he can switch it up.
