A tough hand for Gavin Griffin

...even though he definitely tries. He and Tom McLaughlin put a total of 3,500 in the pot preflop and took a flop of {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{7-Clubs}

{5-Hearts}

. Griffin led out from the small blind for 2,200 and was called by McLaughlin. He fired again on the {3-Spades}

{3-Spades}

turn, making it 3,700 to go. Again McLaughlin called. On the river {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

, Griffin decided it was time to check. McLaughlin took the initiative to bet 7,800. Griffin agonized in the tank for about two minutes before making the call. He was shown {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Spades}

by McLaughlin, two pair aces and sevens, which was the winner.

McLaughlin is up to 95,000.
