Tom Paying the Toll

“Pay the toll!” said Sam Razavi in jest after managing to double up against Tom Grigg.

The hand in question saw Razavi open shove for 1,300,000 from the button. Grigg was in the big blind and opted to go with the call.

Grigg: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
Sam Razavi: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

Razavi had a sweat for his tournament life and while the {10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} flop was safe, the {j-Hearts} on the turn gave Grigg a few more outs. Fortunately for Razavi, the {6-Spades} on the river was safe and with that, he scooped up the double up.

Grigg Surging Away

Tom Grigg has recently taken a big chip lead over his two opponents, currently sitting with more than half the chips in play. The latest big-action hand started when Sam Razavi opened to 80,000 from the button. Grigg called in the big blind and the dealer turned over a {5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Spades} flop. Grigg check-called a bet of 100,000 here and then both players checked the {5-Diamonds} turn.

The {8-Hearts} on the river would see Grigg lead out for 250,000 and Razavi made a quick call. Grigg tabled his {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}, with the trip fives enough to send another big pot to Grigg.

On the turn the {A-Diamonds} hit and both players checked. The river was the {6-Spades} and Grigg opted to lead for 450,000. Walker folded, and Grigg jumped back in the lead.
