Griffin Finds an Ace to Double Off Etheridge

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Caleb Powell raised to 3,000 in the hijack before Matt Griffin three-bet to 11,000 in the cutoff. Sean Etheridge then moved all in on the button. "I want you to call," he told Powell, but he got out of the way. "You're going to call. You have too much in there," he said to Griffin, and he eventually put in his last 29,400.

Matt Griffin: A♦5♦ All in
Sean Etheridge: Q♠7♠

Both players hit a pair on the A♣Q♦4♣ flop, while Griffin remained in the lead with his aces. The 5♠ turn improved him to two pair, while the 10♠ completed the board on the river as Griffin secured the double up.
