Action folded to Andrew Teng on the button who raised to 85,000. Ken Griffin then re-raised to 285,000 from the small blind. Jean Luc Marais gave up his big blind and action was back to Tend who declared he was all in for a total of 1,215,000. Griffin, who had Teng covered, only thought for around 15 seconds before deciding to call.

Teng: {6-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Griffin: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}

It was a classic race with Teng in the lead so far. Unfortunately for Teng, the flop came {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{9-Clubs} putting Griffin in the lead. The {8-Hearts} came on the turn giving Griffin a flush draw as well and leaving Teng drawing to only one out. The river brought the {k-Clubs} which secured Griffin's win and sent Teng to the rail.

Griffin is now our chipleader as we head into four-handed play.
