Griffin Value Smashes The River

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We caught up with Ashton Griffin in a pot with one other player on a board of {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{J-Spades}{4-Hearts} with about 15,000 chips in the middle. The other player was first to act and he led with a bet of 13,000. Griffin decided that wasn't enough for him, he raised to a total of 36,000.

The other player went into the tank and quietly tried to figure out Griffin's holdings. After about a minute and a half of thinking, the player called. Griffin showed {6-Spades}{4-Spades} for a rivered two pair and that was good enough to take down the pot when the other player mucked.
