Two hands, one large and one small, just went down that saw Luke Graham clinch the Harrah's New Orleans title.

In the first, Joseph Hebert opened for 360,000 and Graham called, leading to a {2-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop. Graham checked, Hebert bet 300,000 and Graham woke up with a check-raise to 600,000. Not to be outdone, Hebert three-bet to 1.1 million and Graham snap-called.

Graham then check-called a bet of 1.25 million on the {3-Spades} turn before checking the {3-Hearts} river. Hebert wasted little time in moving all in and Graham, who had 4.695 million behind, shot back in his chair. As the seconds ticked off the tournament clock and minutes passed, Graham took a swig of his water and asked, "Pocket tens?"

Hebert sat motionless and then seemingly out of nowhere Graham spiked in a call. Hebert's face dropped and he sheepishly tabled the {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. In a fit of excitement Graham then revealed the winning {8-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}.

"I don't know how you call that," said a shocked Hebert, who was left with just 500,000. On the very next hand, Hebert committed it with the {10-Spades}{6-Hearts} and Graham called holding the {A-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}. The board ran out {8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{2-Spades} and Hebert had to settle for a runner-up finish.
