Griffin Crests 100K

Gavin Griffin has demonstrated immeasurable poker skill during his career, but even he would probably admit that sometimes it helps to catch the right card at the right time. Sitting in the big blind, he called a raise from Mark Fester to 1,600. Griffin checked the {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} flop to Fester, then called a bet of 2,200. The turn fell {2-Hearts}, and again Griffin check-called, this time for 5,200. On the river {3-Spades}, Griffin led out for 12,000. Fester raised him all in to 27,000, but that didn't scare off Griffin. He made the call with {K-Diamonds} {3-Clubs}, having rivered two pair, kings and threes. That beat out Fester's {5-} {5-}, sending him to the rail.

Griffin now has 103,000 chips. He took some time to chat with PokerNews presenter Annette Melton during the last break.
