1H: Griesbach Flops the Joint, Then Doubles Pratt
After an open from Scotty Smith to 16,000, Caleb Barber moved all in for 90,000. After some tanking, Chase Griesbach also moved all in for much more while Smith got out for the way.
"Am I live?" Griesbach asked as he tabled A♠Q♠.
"Oh, not really," he continued once he saw Barber held A♦K♠, but the flop would say otherwise as it came T♠7♠9♠ to flop him the nut flush. Barber could now only hit a running Q♠J♠ for a straight flush, but the turn 3♥ left him drawing dead and the river 3♣ sent him to the exit.
Ironically, a few hands later, Griesbach got it all in with A♣Q♥ and was once again pitted against A♦K♠ that was held by Vincent Pratt, but this time the runout came 6♦5♦T♦7♣4♦ to give Pratt a flush for a double.
Pratt - 218,000
Griedbach - 145,000
Barber - 0
