Michael Graffeo

A player raised UTG+1 to 16,000, Michael Graffeo reraised from middle position to 40,000, and Martin Carnero moved all in from the big blind for about 780,000.

The UTG+1 player tanked for a while before he folded, and Graffeo quickly called all in for 237,000 with AsAc.

Carnero turned over QdQc, and Graffeo needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board came 9s8d2h9c10c, and the pocket aces held up for Graffeo to win the pot and double up in chips.

Michael Graffeo  –  502,000  (63 bb)
Martin Carnero  –  545,000  (68 bb)

With 153 players remaining from a field of 1,162, the average chip stack is around 380,000 (48 big blinds). The final 146 players will finish in the money, with a min-cash worth $6,400.

There will be a 90-minute dinner break after this level (shortly after 6:30 pm), and action will continue tonight until the end of Level 20 (around 12:20 am).
