Gavin Griffin's Series of Unfortunate Events

We walked past the upper table where Gavin Griffin used to be residing in the nine seat, but that spot is now conspicuously empty. We got the low-down from table mate Allen Bari.

Griffin was relieved of about half his stack in a multi-way pot that came {K-?} {6-?} {8-?} with two hearts. After leading out into the pot, Griffin flat-called a big raise behind him. When a third player came back over the top, Griffin was forced to cut his losses and duck out of the way.

That left him down around 14,000, and Bari would snag that remainder a few hands later. After an early-position player raiser opened to 600, four players flatted in front of Bari's big blind. He looked down at two queens and made it 3,300 to play. That folded the monkeys in the middle, but Griffin shoved back with ace-king.

Bari's queens held up on a board full of rags, and that spells a quick end to the tournament for the Season 3 Grand Final champion.
