Grant Earns a Knockout on the River

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ernest Grant
Ernest Grant

Richard Gordon limped in from early position before a player in the cutoff moved all in for 3,700. Ernest Grant called on the button, and Gordon got out of the way.

All-In Player: A♠4♠ All in
Ernest Grant: A♥J♠

"If I was playing him, I'd feel good," the at-risk player said, pointing at Gordon. The flop came A♦6♠4♥ to give him two pair, while the turn was the 10♦. The river, though, brought the J♦ to give Grant aces and jacks, and the cutoff was sent to the rail.

"I've been lucky a few times," Grant said.
