Matt Graham and Duane Graff Jr. capped the action preflop shortly after the complaints sprung up about the structure. Graham referenced that whoever wins this pot is going to win pretty much.
The flop came down and Graff was first to act. He bet out the 10,000 bet and Graham started mumbling to himself.
He uttered something about the size of the pot compared to the bet and then showed the before saying "Thank you tournament directors," and then mucked his hand.
With Duane Graff Jr. severely crippled after the last hand, Matt Graham reraised from the big blind after Graff raised from the button/small blind. The two players raised back and forth to get all of Graff's chips in the middle and put his tournament life at risk.
