Griffin Granted Stay of Execution

Gavin Griffin
Gavin Griffin
Gavin Griffin's chip stack has slowly but steadily dwindled over the course of the day. Down to 12,700 chips, he found himself all in with {10-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} and called by a player who tabled {Q-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}.

Following standard Main Event protocol, the dealer called out "All in and call on Orange 82!" A floor came over to the table and held up play while an ESPN camera got itself into position to film the action.

"Can we just get it over with?" asked an irritated Griffin. "What the ****."

The dealer was finally instructed to run out the board. That board came {Q-Diamonds} {k-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} to give Griffin the rivered gutshot Broadway straight and the double-up. He's now sitting behind 26,000 chips.
