Matt Graham opened consecutive pots with a raise to 210,000. In the first he took down the pot on a ten-high flop with a bet of 280,000 against Vitaly Lunkin. In the second he took down the blinds uncontested and showed {K-?}{K-?}{Q-?}{J-?}.

Golden Grahams?

Matt Graham raises to 210,000 but Vitaly Lunkin makes it 710,000 from the small blind and Graham gives it up.

Graham gets a walk next hand.

"Yeah! Nice walk man!" shout some of his friends.

Ferit Gabriellson - 5th Place
Ferit Gabriellson - 5th Place
Ferit Gabriellson raised the pot to 280,000 from the button and Matt Graham made the call from the small blind.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{K-Clubs} and Graham led out with a bet of 250,000. Gabriellson moved all in for a little more and Graham called.

Graham: {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}
Gabriellson: {K-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}

Gabriellson held the lead until the case {J-Hearts} spiked on the turn to give Graham a set to the roar of the rail. The river bricked the {8-Clubs} and Gabriellson exits in 5th place for a pay day of $148,439.

And then there were four...

A waiter came by to give some beef jerky to some of the players, some of the baying crowd desperately asked for him. The waiter threw some into the crowd, managing to hit one lucky guy right in the eye with a packet...

Lunkin Gets Some Back

Ferit Gabriellson opened with a raise to 200,000 and the table folded around to Vitaly Lunkin who decided it was his turn to three-bet and raised the pot an additional 440,000. Gabriellson re-checked his cards and cut down his chips before finally releasing his hand to give the pot to Lunkin.

Finally this final table has discovered the power of the reraise!

Vitaly Lunkin raised to 200,000 before Robin Keston reraised the pot for an additional 480,000. The table folded around to Lunkin who again took his time with the decision before folding {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} face up.

And finally, like a thunderbolt we got some action.

Vitaly Lunkin raises to 210,000 and Stefan Mattsson repotted in the blinds. Lunkin set him in and Mattsson called.

Mattsson: {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds}
Lunkin: {A-Spades} {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts} {3-Spades}

The flop was huge for the Swede coming {J-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} giving him a pair and a flush draw, but the turn was the {4-Hearts} which gave Lunkin the other flush draw. The river was the {7-Spades} and after all that, Lunkin's solitary aces were good for the entire pot.

Lunkin has almost 4 million in chips now, can he be stopped?
