Event 14 (Day 3): Graffeo Left Super Short After Santos Pushes

"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: 9
Chip Average: 1,600,000

Josias Santos opened the action with a raise to 120,000, with players folding to Michael Graffeo in the small blind.  Graffeo made a small three-bet to 220,000, and after Santos made the call, the two would see a flop of J 6 2.  Graffeo pushed forward a bet of 180,000, with Santos calling, and the dealer then placing the 3♠ on the turn.  Graffeo led once again, this time for 225,000, with Santos making the call after a few moments of thought.  The A would come on the river, and after Graffeo checked (with only 320,000 behind), Santos pushed forward a stack of blue chips worth over 500,000.

Graffeo sat up in his seat, put his head in his hand, and eventually pushed his cards towards the muck.  Santos would take in the pot worth close to 1,000,000, with Graffeo becoming the shortest stack at the final table.

Josias Santos - 3,600,000
Michael Graffeo - 320,000
