Grigsby's Stock Still Falling

Franklin Grigsby was first into the pot from the small blind, and he came in raising. In the big blind, Thomas Joanides reraised, and Grigsby four-bet enough to put his opponent all in. Joanides called the additional 55,000, now at risk for his tournament life.

Showdown
Grigsby: {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs}
Joanides: {J-Diamonds} {J-Spades}

Joanides was in bad shape, probably looking for a jack to stay alive. And sure enough, he caught one of his two save cards on a board of {Q-Spades} {3-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {Q-Hearts}. That third-of-a-kind on the turn was a beautiful sight for Joanides, rising from the ashes to double up through the former top fiver. After several early setbacks, Grigsby is all the way back to 190,000.
