Bluff from Black

[user22113]

Alex Kim (USA) raised pre-flop and Andy Black (Ireland) called from the button. The flop was 10-10-6 with two clubs and both players checked. The turn was another 6 and Kim bet 75K. Black sat and thought for a few moments before he said, "How much do you have left? Can you count them?"

Black must have picked up some sort of read, because he instantly raised to 175K before Kim could finish counting. Kim quickly mucked and Black flipped over 3-3.

Gavin Griffin = 2 Million Dollar Man

[user22113]

Gavin Griffin (USA) was the first player to surpass the 2 million chip marker when he won another big pot. His victim this time was Ram Vaswani (UK). Griffin limped with A-A. On a board of Q-10-4-4, Griffin check-raised Vaswani for close to 300K. Vaswani eventually called after thinking about his decision for several minutes. A King fell on the river and Griffin bet 250K. Vaswani made a crying call as Griffin flipped over his pocket rockets. Vaswani tossed his cards into the muck.
