Grafton Gets Lucky Double-Up
Level 15
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sam Grafton had shoved in his stack of 139,000 from the small blind and was called by Steve O'Dwyer in the hijack.
Sam Grafton: K♦9♣ 
Steve O'Dwyer: K♣10♣
Grafton was dominated by O'Dwyer's better king, but Grafton made two pair on the K♥7♣9♥ flop to take the lead.
The deck did not have a ten in store for O'Dwyer on the 8♣4♦ runout, seeing Grafton double up and O'Dwyer being left with just under ten big blinds.
