Griffith Spikes Two-Outer on River in Massive Pot
Level 7
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Wesley Fei kicked off the action by opening to 10,000 under the gun. Paulius Vaitiekunas flat-called in the cutoff, allowing Cole Griffith to squeeze in a three-bet to 55,000 from the small blind.
Fei wanted to see a flop and called, while Vaitiekunas elected to fold. Griffith then continued for 40,000 on the 9♥9♠2♣ flop, and Fei raised to 90,000.
Griffith responded with a three-bet to 170,000, and Fei four-bet jammed in response. Griffith called, putting him at risk for 384,000.
Cole Griffith: Q♦Q♣
Wesley Fei: 9♦7♦
Fei had flopped trips, meaning only two cards in the deck could save Griffith from being eliminated. The 10♥ turn blanked, but the Q♥ river upgraded Griffith to a full house, awarding him the giant pot.
