Griffin Almost Felted, Sucks Out to Stay Alive

[user22113]

Gavin Griffin was down to only 23,000 after losing a huge chunk of his stack to Robert Aron. On the next hand, Arnold Spee raised from late position, and Griffin called all in from the small blind with {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{4-Spades}

and was way behind to Spee's {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{K-Diamonds}

. The flop was {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{7-Spades}

and things looked grim for Griffin, but he picked up a spade draw on the turn when the {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

fell. The river was... another spade, the {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

and Griffin doubled up to 60,000.
