Griffin Flops Two, River Kills Action

On a flop of {A-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {9-Hearts}, a player in early position check-called a bet of 2,000 from Ashton Griffin. That put about 6,000 in the pot going to the {K-Clubs} turn, and Griffin fired out another 4,500 chips. His opponent called again, and both men checked the scary {J-Diamonds} river.

Griffin showed up {A-Spades} {10-Diamonds}, and his opponent flashed his {A-Clubs} {9-Spades} as he mucked, sending the pot to Griffin. Both men flopped two pair, but the rest of the board kept the pot in check, and Griffin has his stack moving in the right direction with about 40,500 here in the early going.
