Action picked up with all cards on the board in a button versus small blind battle between Chance Kornuth and Sam Grafton.

Kornuth got all his chips in the middle from the button with {a-}{a-} and Grafton had the {a-}{k-} from the small blind.

The board ran out {k-}{4-}{k-}{j-}{q-} to give Grafton trips to rundown Kornuth's aces.

"Good luck, everybody," said Kornuth as his day was over.

"You're an early candidate for my favorite dealer of the year," Grafton told Danielle, the dealer responsible for the hand. "I'll tell you what happened at the cashier earlier, I pulled out a bundle of cash, and it was exactly the five k I needed. There's some magic here today," as Grafton rubbed his fingers together.
