and Griffin fired 1,300. Moneymaker called.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

and Griffin fired 4,600 this time. Moneymaker called again.

The river was the {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

and Griffin moved all in for 16,775. Moneymaker thought about it for a couple minutes and then made the call.

"Straight," announced Griffin, having backed into a wheel. Moneymaker showed that he called with the {K-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

for just king high and lost the hand.

"The game's on now boys," said Matt Glantz to break up the awkward silence after the hand.
