Goodbye Griffin

Gavin Griffin opened to 1,400 from middle position and an opponent in the big blind defended.

The flop fell {8-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} and, when checked to, Griffin continued for 1,900. Griffin's opponent check-raised to 6,000 and Griffin called.

The {9-Spades} turned and Griffin's opponent checked to Griffin who moved all in for about 13,000. After a few minutes of deliberation, his opponent made the call.

Showdown
Griffin: {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}
Opponent: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}

Griffin needed a seven or a queen to double through, but the dealer dropped a {k-Spades} on the river eliminating him from the tournament.
