: 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Serafim Kovalevskiy opened to 5,000 and Sam Grafton called in the blinds. On the 
flop, Grafton check-raised Kovalevskiy's 9,000 continuation bet to 36,000 and Kovalevskiy called.
The turn brought the 
and Grafton bet again, making it 27,000 this time. It was a tank-call from Kovalevskiy and the dealer plaed a 
on the river. Grafton barreled for 82,000, which was over half of Kovalevskiy's remaining stack. The Russian went into the tank again but decided to fold in the end. Grafton now has double the average stack.
