Griffiths Collects Another Scalp

[user75032]

Things continue to go well for David Griffiths in today's Day 1a flight. He called a raise to 1,500 from the small blind and took a flop of {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

{3-Spades}

. He checked to the raiser, who made a bet of 1,500. Griffiths check-raised to 4,000 but his opponent was undeterred, moving his whole stack of 10,500 into the middle. Griffiths had to call 6,500 to win 17,500. It wasn't exactly the best price, but with chips to burn, Griffiths did indeed make the call, tabling {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

for the nut flush draw. He was well behind his opponent's set of sixes, {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{6-Hearts}

. The turn was a blank, the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

, but the river {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

made Griffiths a club flush without filling up his opponent.

Griffiths is up to 42,000.
