Eckstein Sends Griffin to the Rail
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Lisa Eckstein opened to 27,000 from middle position and faced a three-bet to 100,000 from Alexander Griffin in the cutoff. Eckstein called and saw a flop of 9♥Q♣A♥.
Eckstein checked and Griffin quickly announced all in, sending Eckstein into the tank. After about a 90 seconds, she asked for a count and watched as an exact amount of Griffin's stack was acquired. After the count was complete, Eckstein contemplated a 275,000 decision.
After tanking for a couple more minutes and counting out calling chips, she eventually put in the call and the cards were turned on their backs.
Alexander Griffin: K♦K♠
Lisa Eckstein: A♠3♠
The board ran out A♦4♠ and Griffin was sent to the rail as Eckstein scored an elimination and won a massive pot.
