Grigg Takes One from Benton

[user38449]

Aaron Benton opened with a raise to 60,000 from the button before the action fell to Tom Grigg in the small blind who played back, kicking it up to 160,000. Ernst Hermans folded his big blind sending the action back to Benton who made the call.

The flop then came {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

and Grigg passed the first option to Benton who fired a 250,000 bet, saying, "No shame in folding, but if you've got it, come."

Grigg made the call, ignoring Benton's banter and both bothers proceeded to check down the rest of the board, which filled out {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

,

{7-Hearts}

.

At the showdown, Benton tabled {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{2-Diamonds}

which was bested by Grigg's kicker -- {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

.

After the hand, Grigg stacked up 1.41 million in chips and Benton fell to 1,245,000.
