Gaffin Griffin Takes a Pot

[user108095]

We picked this hand up on the flop after Gavin Griffin's opponent check-called for 700 on a flop of {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

{J-Hearts}

.

Both players checked the {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

on the turn, and Griffin's opponent led for 1,600 on the river, which brought the {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

. Griffin thought for a few seconds before making the call and showing {K-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

for just king high.

The other player flashed {10-?}

{10-?}

{8-Spades}

for a busted straight draw before tossing his cards in the middle. When the table complimented Griffin on the call, the losing player in the hand piped up, "Yeah, but how much are you down?"

For the record, Griffin has lost nearly half his stack and is sitting with 8,500.
