Griffin's Lucky Weekend

With the board reading {K-Hearts} {8-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs} Cristobal Hidalgo checked from the cutoff, Forrest Griffin bet 1,000 from the button and Hidalgo made the call.

Griffin turned up {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} for the full house and Hidalgo showed the {K-Clubs} before mucking in disgust.

"It's been a lucky weekend for me," Griffin quipped, as he raked in the pot. He's off to a good start with 27,000.
