Broadway for Grigg

Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii made it a heads-up standard 100,000 with Tom Grigg making the call before the {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{J-Diamonds} board was checked down.

With Grigg checking for the third time, Leaoasavaii fired out 100,000 only to have Grigg play the check-raise card making it 300,000 to go.

Leaoasavaii made the call, but was forced to muck at the sight of Grigg's {A-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for a Broadway straight as he slipped to below 1,000,000 in chips

Brotha D Ships a Double

Tom Grigg opened to 100,000 from the button and Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii as he checked the {5-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} flop.

Grigg fired out a continuation bet of 100,000 only to have Leaoasavaii check-raise all in for 540,000. Grigg instantly made the call to put Leaoasavaii at risk.

Leaoasavaii: {J-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Grigg: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}

"What a cooler! How does he just get there!" exclaimed Grigg at the prospect of doubling up Leaoasavaii after being outdrawn on the flop.

The {3-Spades} on the turn saw Grigg pick up an additional four outs for a wheel, but when the river landed the {K-Diamonds}, Leaoasavaii was pushed the pot to double to 1,280,000 as Grigg slipped to 2,600,000 in chips.

Leaoasavaii Below One Million

Tom Grigg bucked the preflop raise trend of clicking it back as he made it 130,000 to go with Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii making the call.

Grigg fired out 150,000 on the {3-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{K-Hearts} flop with Leaoasavaii check-calling before the {8-Diamonds} on the turn saw two taps of the table.

The river landed the {A-Clubs} and Grigg's 350,000-chip bet was check-folded by Leaoasavaii as he slipped to 970,000 in chips.

Tom Grigg moved all in from the button and Danny 'Brotha D' Leaoasavaii made the call for his last 590,000.

Leaoasavaii: {7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}
Grigg: {A-Diamonds}{5-Spades}

With Leaoasavaii appearing that he had endured enough of a heads up battle, the {3-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop was one of the best he could have asked for without taking the lead.

"I can't watch!" stated Grigg as he turned to his rail.

The turn landed the {5-Diamonds} to give Leaoasavaii an additional three outs, and when the river landed the {8-Hearts}, Leaoasavaii doubled through to 1,180,000 in chips as Grigg slipped to 2,700,000 in chips.
