Griffin Pays Off Opponent
We got to the table with approximately 8,000 in the pot and four cards in the middle of the table: 
. The player in the small blind checked to Gavin Griffin who made a bet of 5,200. Griffin then found himself facing a check-raise to 12,100; he called. On the 
river, Griffin's opponent led out for 12,000 and Griffin tossed out the chips and called. His opponent showed 
for a ten-high straight.
Griffin tapped the table. "Nice hand," he told his opponent. Griffin, who told our reporter that this is the first tournament he's played this summer, has nearly five million in lifetime tournament cashes and is one of few players who has captured the elusive Triple Crown of Poker (WPT win, EPT win, WSOP bracelet). Despite the hit on this hand, he still has a well above-average stack with 175,000 in chips.
