How it is graded

Each player gets the grades they would see if they imported this hand. The preflop charts are built for six players, so these heads-up preflop grades are marked approximate. After the flop, the grader uses a solved pack when the board and stacks are close enough. Otherwise it uses equity against a typical range, or leaves the decision ungraded. Each grade shows its source.

Stephensen's 28,300,000 is his whole stack, which squares with Jacobson's all-in for "over 170 million" out of the 200,500,000 chips in play at the start of heads-up.
