Grafton’s Queens Can't Win the Race
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Gal Bar opened the action to 10,000 and faced a three-bet to 30,000 from Sam Grafton on his immediate left. When the action returned to Bar, he counted his chips and announced all in. Grafton snap-called.
Gal Bar: A?K? 
Sam Grafton: Q?Q?
The classic poker race was underway, and Grafton's chances diminished when the dealer revealed the K?4?3? flop. The 9? turn and J? river provided no help, leaving Grafton with just five big blinds and he was eliminated shortly after.
