Graham Flops the Joint, Loses Hand

We caught up a little late to this hand, but here's what we know. Working against a single opponent, Matt Graham got tangled up in what would become a sizable pot. The flop showed {10-Spades} {8-Clubs} {7-Clubs}, and the betting action put about 26,000 chips in the pot going to fourth street.

Catching up live now, the turn card came the {7-Diamonds}, and both players checked. On the river, the {5-Diamonds} drew a bet from the unknown player. He fired 12,000 at the pot, sending Graham into the tank. After a long delay, Graham made the call with {J-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. It was no good though; his opponent showed down {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} for the winning eights full. Despite that monster flop, Matt Graham couldn't hold, and his stack has plummeted to 10,400.
