Marais Doubles Through Griffin

Ken Griffin raised to 150,000 from the small blind and Jean Luc Marais called from the big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Griffin instantly shoved all in. Marais snap called and the hands were revealed.

Griffin: {6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Marais: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Marais was ahead with his pair of queens but Griffin had a flush draw. The turn was the {2-Spades} and the river was the {8-Diamonds} and Marais got a huge double up to make him our chipleader.
