Petrangelo Loses Chips But Wins Free Dinner for Doubling Grafton

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sam Grafton

Chris Brewer raised to 16,000 and was called by Ren Lin as well as Tom Orpaz on the button. Sam Grafton then moved all-in for 59,000 in the small blind and Nick Petrangelo reraised to 110,000.

Brewer quickly let go while Lin mulled it over for almost the entire 30-second shot clock to then fold. Orpaz also gave it some consideration but let go, too.

"How do you wake up with aces there, Nicky?" Grafton said, having been silent until then. When the cards were revealed, Grafton was suddenly all smiles, though.

Sam Grafton: {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}
Nick Petrangelo: {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

"If I win this hand with king-high, you can pick dinner anywhere," the jovial Brit instantly offered and then meshed the cards of both players before the dealer separated them again.

Somehow, king-high indeed won the pot on the {a-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} runout and Grafton then praised Petrangelo for more than three minutes despite having lost the hand. "That's how he wins all the money ... he just slapped you all," Grafton declared.

Petrangelo didn't say a single word and maintained a dry smile on his face throughout.
