Grafton Finds the Snap Hero Call to Double
Level 9
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Sam Grafton raised to 12,000 from the cutoff, receiving calls from Justin Saliba in the small blind and Nick Petrangelo in the big blind.
The 7?3?7? flop checked through to the 4? on the turn. Saliba checked and Petrangelo took the lead for a sizeable over-bet of 70,000. Grafton called and Saliba folded.
The J? river saw Petrangelo empty the clip, moving all in for Grafton's effective stack of 206,000. Grafton nearly beat him into the pot with a call for his tournament life.
Sam Grafton: 6?6? 
Nick Petrangelo: 5?2?
Grafton's pocket pair was best and he found an early double.
