Kevin Hazzard got it started with a raise to 23,000. It folded to an unknown player in the cutoff and he called. From there, it folded to Daniel Griggs — who claimed one of the biggest stacks in the room — in the big blind and he defended. They were three ways.

Flop: — Action checked around.

Turn: — Griggs and Hazzard checked sending the action to the cutoff. He bet 50,000. Griggs reached into his stack and raised to 130,000. It was on Hazzard and he insta-shoved for 322,000. The cutoff went into the tank for about a minute before folding. It was back on Griggs. He had a decision on his hands and ultimately found a call.

Hazzard: for kings up
Griggs: for the nut flush draw

Hazzard was the at-risk player.

River: — The river spade improved Griggs to a pair, but it wasn’t enough. He shipped a double across the table to Hazzard who subsequently took the chip lead.

Kevin Hazzard – 765,000
Daniel Griggs – 240,000
