Grafton’s Queens Can't Win the Race
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Gal Bar opened the action to 10,000 and faced a three-bet to 30,000 from Sam Grafton on his immediate left. When the action returned to Bar, he counted his chips and announced all in. Grafton snap-called.
Gal Bar: A♠K♠ 
Sam Grafton: Q♥Q♦
The classic poker race was underway, and Grafton's chances diminished when the dealer revealed the K♣4♠3♦ flop. The 9♥ turn and J♦ river provided no help, leaving Grafton with just five big blinds and he was eliminated shortly after.
