Sam Grafton opened the action from the button with a raise to 240,000. Conor Beresford defended his big blind a flop was dealt.

J♥Q♥5♣ saw Grafton continuation-bet 125,000 after a check from Beresford. Beresford called and the 6♥ fell on the turn, which got checked around.

On the K♦ river Beresford checked for a third time before Grafton put out a bet of 300,000. Beresford counted his remaining chips, shrugged, and made the call.

Grafton showed him 10♦9♦ for a rivered straight and Beresford quickly mucked his cards as he could not beat that. Beresford was left with just one and a half big blinds.
