Event 14 (Day 3): 9th Place - Graffeo ($10,411)

"Battles At The Beach"
Event 14 ($1,500 No Limit Hold'em Main Event $500,000 GTD)
Level 26 (Blinds 20,000/40,000/5,000)
Total Entries: 482
Players Remaining: 8
Chip Average: 1,800,000

Michael Graffeo (Boca Raton, FL)

Just one hand after Ryan Van Sanford doubled through Christian Rodriguez, Michael Graffeo (Boca Raton, FL) would open shove for his remaining 30,000.  Nigel Murray, who was next to act, re-shoved for just over 700,000.  Action then folded behind, and the WPT DeepStack Main Event winner (Seminole Hard Rock) would be at risk:

Graffeo: A♠ J♣
Murray: 10♣ 10♠

Board: K♠ 2 3 Q♠ 5

Graffeo couldn't manage to come from behind, and he'd be the second player eliminated from this final table.  Michael will add $10,411 to his career earnings, just over a month after winning $290,867 at the SHR WPT DeepStack $1,100 Main Event.

Nigel Murray - 1,100,000
Michael Graffeo - 9th Place ($10,411)
