Kisacikoglu and Grafton Get Small Doubles

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded to Orpen Kisacikoglu on the button who ripped all in for 60,000. Jean-Noel Thorel asked for a count in the big blind and then called.

Orpen Kisacikoglu: {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Jean-Noel Thorel: {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The flop came {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Thorel looked across the table to see if his opponent held a heart which he did. The {5-Hearts} hit the turn and Kisacikoglu made a flush which brought a groan out of Thorel as he was drawing dead.

Next door, Simon Mattsson raised it up on the button and then called the shove of 70,000 from Sam Grafton in the big blind. Mattsson showed {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts} but was behind the {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} of Grafton.

The board ran out {8-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} and Grafton also earned a double-up with the better of the two ace-highs.
