"How much have you got there?" asked Toan. Grafton told him he had 50,000 and Toan put out two T25,000 chips. Grafton stood up and looked over at the clock for a quick second.

"Did you flop the nuts?" Toan asked. Grafton threw in the last of his chips and the two hands were tabled.

Sam Grafton:
Robbie Toan:

Toan saw that Grafton did not have the nuts, but ceded that he was ahead as he tabled his own hand. The turn came to leave Grafton one card away from a double, but the river fell behind it to fill up Toan to Broadway.

"Boom, baby!" said Toan in a playful tune.

"Nice hand," Grafton congratulated him in a sincere manner from across the table. Toan regained form quickly.
