Long checked dark as the flop came out and Griffin checked behind.
The turn was the and Long fired out a bet of 5,000, which Griffin called and the two saw the appear on the river.
Both players decided to check and Long flipped over for a pair of eights but then Griffin rolled over for a superior pair of queens to win the pot.
"Ahhhh, shouldn't have pre-checked, why did I do that?" Long was kicking himself as he was left with one-half of the starting stack.
