Grafton Finds the Snap Hero Call to Double
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sam Grafton raised to 12,000 from the cutoff, receiving calls from Justin Saliba in the small blind and Nick Petrangelo in the big blind.
The 7♣3♥7♥ flop checked through to the 4♣ on the turn. Saliba checked and Petrangelo took the lead for a sizeable over-bet of 70,000. Grafton called and Saliba folded.
The J♠ river saw Petrangelo empty the clip, moving all in for Grafton's effective stack of 206,000. Grafton nearly beat him into the pot with a call for his tournament life.
Sam Grafton: 6♠6♦ 
Nick Petrangelo: 5♠2♣
Grafton's pocket pair was best and he found an early double.
