Michael "Boonie" Kleist is the latest player to be go after he was eliminated over the course of two hands by Gavin Griffin.

Boonie opened and called Griffins's three-bet to see a {2-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop. He checked called a bet here and on the {10-Spades} turn before both players checked the {j-Hearts} river. Griffin opened the lowly {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} but managed to scoop.

That left Boonie with just 50,000 chips in the big blind. Griffin isolated him by raising and the cards wee on theit backs.

Griffin: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Boonie: {q-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}

The board ran {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} to give Griffin two-pair.
