Filatov vs Grafton

Level 5 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Anatoly Filatov opened to 5,500 from under the gun and Sam Grafton defended his big blind. The flop came {j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Grafton check-called a bet of 4,000 from Filatov.

The turn was the {6-Clubs} and Grafton led out with a min-bet of 2,500. Filatov raised to 15,000 and Grafton called. The river was the {k-Spades} and both players tapped the table. Grafton showed {5-Spades}{4-Spades} but Filatov held the better pair with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

"I was expecting him to value-bet a jack," Grafton said to Rainer Kempe on his right.

"It's a €25,000 buy-in. You're not expecting to play with a tool," Kempe joked.

It would be Kempe not laughing though, as he was seen leaving the tournament after the next hand.
