Ultimate Cooler Ends in Early Double for Graydon

Level 2 : Blinds 100/100, 0 ante
Mick Graydon

It's not often one sees nearly 600 big blinds going in preflop, but that is exactly what happened on one of the tables of the main event.

The chips had already gone in between Peter Josefsson in the hijack and Michael Graydon on the button when the action was caught, and they turned their hands face-up. Graydon was at risk with his 29,100 stack as Josefsson apparently had already gathered some chips early today.

Michael Graydon: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Peter Josefsson: {k-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

A classic case of aces versus kings. Graydon's aces held on the uneventful {7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Spades} board and he doubled up to a big stack very early on.

Luckily for Josefsson, the structure leaves him with plenty of room to try and spin up his remaining 8,000 chips.
