After falling to just 7,000 or so chips early in Day 1c, Maryland resident Wayne Griffin has surged back into the realm of respectability with a 65,000 stack.

He made a few fortunate hands to get back on track, and in the last deal before the recent break, he toppled an overpair by flopping a set.

Griffin's {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} connected perfectly on the {3-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop, and with his opponent holding {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}, all money soon was soon pushed into the middle. The turn ({j-Clubs}) and river ({10-Diamonds}) failed to bring another queen on board, and with that, Griffin gave himself a new lease on life.

A regular member of Rich's Home Game back in Maryland, Griffin is one of the many recreational players looking to make a splash at the Borgata Winter Poker Open, and if he keeps up the momentum here tonight, he just might have to raise the stakes when he returns.
