UTG Mike Zduniak just raised to 35K, Kevin Grabel re-raised from the button to 105K, and Zduniak moved all in for about 1.2 Mil. Grabel tanks for a while, talking out loud says, “Am I just going home?” He takes a couple more minutes and decides to make the call with his final 549k.
Zduniak: JJ
Grabel: QQ
Flop: AQA for a boat for Grabel, leaves Zduniak drawing to just running Jacks to win the hand or running Aces for a chop, and comes 4 5 to give Grabel the double up and now has over a million in chips.
Mike Zduniak (Right): Kevin Grabel
