Majeed Crippled

Dhiya Majeed started the day with 13,700 chips -- fewer than seven big blinds. He managed to turn that into a run to the final two tables but now finds himself crippled. He opened for 50,000 from middle position, then was faced with a big decision when action passed to David Griffiths in the big blind. Griffiths moved all in for about 150,000 total. Majeed made the call with {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}, leaving himself 45,000 behind if he lost the hand. He found himself racing Griffiths' {8-Hearts} {8-Spades}. The flop came eight-high, {3-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}. Griffiths had a good set when a third heart hit the turn, {9-Hearts}, giving Majeed outs to a heart flush. It didn't come. The river was the {Q-Spades}.

Griffiths stack is up to 320,000 as a result of the hand. Majeed needs now to find more of his earlier short-stack magic. He has only 45,000 remaining chips.
