Grigg Picks Up Kings Two Hands in a Row

Tom Grigg was just dealt pocket kings two hands in a row and while he won one and lost the other, he managed to improve to 1.25 million in chips in the process.

In the first hand, Grigg opened with a raise to 75,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ernst Hermans from the button. The flop came down {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{Q-Spades} and Grigg fired a continuation bet of 100,000 that was called by Hermans. Both players then checked down the turn and the river ({7-Spades}, {7-Hearts}) and at the showdown, Hermans revealed {A-Spades}{9-Hearts} for aces up.

One hand later, Grigg picked up kings again and opened for the same amount -- 75,000. This time, Wayne Carlson called from the big blind and the two saw the flop come {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. A pair of checks on the flop sent the action to the turn, {8-Diamonds}, where Carlson fired a 100,000 bet. Grigg made the call. 5th Street delivered the {10-Hearts} and Carlson fired another 100,000 that was also called by Grigg.

At the showdown, Grigg was pleased to find his kings were good against Carlson's {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and he raked in the pot to move to 1.25 million in chips.
