Hand #64: Jordan Griff raised to 4,000,000 and Jonathan Tamayo three-bet to 24,500,000. Griff four-bet, putting Tamayo all in, and Tamayo called for his last 10,000,000.

Jonathan Tamayo: A♥9♦ All in
Jordan Griff: A♠K♥

The 8♥5♣2♠ changed nothing, with the turn 7♥ giving Tamayo hope with a gutshot. However, Tamayo binked the 9♣ to find a pair and double through Griff.
