Watson Doubles Through Nikitin; Grafton is Relieved

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Anatoly Nikitin raised to 12,000 before Mike Watson shoved with 89,000. Nikitin called and turned over {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, while Watson showed {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}. The board ran out {q-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and the jacks held to secure the double for Watson.

Elsewhere, action was heads up with around 110,000 in the pot and {2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{j-Spades} on the board when Chino Rheem bet 23,000 before Sam Grafton shoved for 376,000. The move sent Rheem deep into the tank for several minutes.

"I'm sorry," Rheem said. "I have a pair. I shouldn't be taking this long to think about a pair."

"You're the defending champ. Take as much time as you need," Grafton said.

Rheem eventually folded and the pot went to Grafton.

"Nice bluff!" someone shouted from nearby.

"I can see the relief on his face," Rheem said.

"I'm just relieved you're still in!" Grafton responded.
