Don't Fear, Tom Grigg is Here

Tom Grigg was among the biggest stacks in the room, but a massive pot just launched him into the lead. A neatly stacked 451,000-chip stack caught our eye, and Grigg brought us up to speed with what just happened.

A player raised to 3,500 pre flop, and both Brendon Rubie and Tom Grigg called. The flop brought out {J-} {3-} {4-} with two clubs, and the initial raiser checked. Rubie took a 7,200-chip stab at the pot, and Grigg flatted.

The initial raiser was far from done with the hand, since he put out a big stack of yellow 5,000 chips. This got Rubie to fold, but Grigg wasn't going anywhere. He moved all in, and his opponent called off the remaining chips.

Grigg showed a set of treys, and was up against a pair of queens. The turn and river brought blanks, and Grigg grabbed has a massive lead.
