Griffin Soars

Pot-Limit Hold'em

We caught up to the action on the turn with the board reading {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{K-Hearts} and 5,000 chips in the middle between Ashton Griffin and his opponent. The player checked to Griffin and he fired 3,500 into the middle. His opponent thought and then min-raised to 7,000. Griffin came back over the top with a min-reraise to 10,500. His opponent just called.

The river card was the {6-Hearts} and Griffin's opponent moved all in for about 12,000 total. Griffin paused for only a brief moment and then made the call. The player tabled the {Q-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for just queen high having missed his straight draw and Griffin showed the winner with the {K-Clubs}{9-Hearts}. With that pot, Griffin sent one player to the rail and moved himself up to 80,000 in chips.
