Less than two weeks after winning the $200,000 buy-in Coin Rivet Invitational in Cyprus, the money hasn't gone to Sam Grafton's head.
The $5,500,000 first prize — the second-largest tournament cash by an Englishman — is a reminder to Grafton of just how far he's come in his career, and serves as motivation for what's still to come.
But the PokerStars ambassador is keeping his feet firmly on the ground...for now at least.
"It's very gratifying having worked my way through and I've been very lucky to run exceptionally well at the super high stakes," he told PokerNews.
