"Act of God" Gives Grafton the Chip Lead

Level 7 : 400/800, 100 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Sam Grafton is currently sitting on a chip stack that amounts to 411,500. Good for the current tournament chip lead.

Our PokerNews reporter headed over to Grafton's table to find out exactly what led to Grafton claiming the current chip lead.

"Owning noobs!" announced Doug Polk who is seated on Grafton's left.

Grafton explained that he held {10-}{9-} on a {6-}{7-}{8-} flop against Ronnie Brown's {9-}{9-}. The turn and river ran out the {5-} and {4-} and Grafton won a huge pot through Brown.

"Basically it was an act of God!" added Grafton.

"You know that picture in the Sistine Chapel? Well I'm the guy that God is touching with his finger!" continued Grafton.

Grafton was referring to the Michelangelo painting on the roof of the Sistine Chapel titled, The Creation of Adam.
