Grigsby Going Backwards

Franklin Grigsby is one name you may have heard before as he came into Day 3 with a huge stack of over 400,000. Just a few minutes into play though, Grigsby is already moving in the wrong direction.

We caught up with the action on the turn with about 40,000 chips in the pot already, and the board showing {A-Spades} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {3-Spades}. In a battle of the blinds, Richard Washinsky led out with a bet of 30,000. Grigsby was in the big, and he mulled it over for a bit before making the call.

On the river, the {2-Clubs} drew another bet from Washinsky. He pushed out 50,000 this time, and Grigsby tanked for a good while before making the call. Washinsky showed {4-Spades} {5-Spades}, and his straight to the six was the winner. He and Grigsby now have virtually even chip stacks, both men sitting right under 300,000.
