Griffin Eliminates Black, Adds to His Already Healthy Stack

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

The board read {8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{q-Spades}, Robert Black bet around 6,000, and Gavin Griffin moved him all in for his remaining 23,500. Black thought for a few moments and then made the call.

Black tabled {q-}{j-} for a pair of queens and Griffin turned over {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for the nut straight, eliminating Black and securing the pot.

Gavin Griffin is the first player ever to win a WSOP, WPT, and EPT event for a triple crown. He will be looking to make a deep run and add Main Event champ to his resume.
