Forrest Griffin KOed

On a flop of {K-Hearts} {8-Spades} {2-Hearts}, Forrest Griffin bet 200 from UTG, Johnny Chan raised to 1,100 from middle position, and Griffin made the call. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}. Griffin bet 1,000, Chan raised to 2,000, and Griffin called. The river was the {J-Diamonds}. Griffin bet another 1,000, Chan raised to 5,000, and Griffin called.

Chan rolled over {A-Spades} {K-Clubs} for two pair, while Griffin showed {J-Spades} {6-Spades}. The hand took the UFC fighter down to only 1,600.

On a subsequent hand, Griffin moved all in on a flop of {Q-Spades} {J-Hearts} {3-Clubs} and Vincent Curry made the call. Griffin showed {K-Spades} {9-Diamonds} while Curry tabled {Q-Diamonds} {8-Spades}. The turn and river blanked out for Griffin and he hit the rail.
