Warren Griffith Eliminated in 2nd Place ($10,000)

Warren Griffith  - 2nd Place - $10,000

Warren Griffith shoved all in and was called by Robert Courtney.

"I knew the twos were live, that's why I shoved with this hand," Griffith said with a giggle.

The board ran out [js][6h][4s][9h][3d] to eliminate Griffith in second place.

Chop Deal Made, Big Hand Occurs Immediately

In the midst of a hand, the final two players agreed to a chop deal where they would each take $10,000, and then play for the trophy and the remaining $1,507.

With the flop reading [js][8s][4h], Robert Courtney is all in and Warren Griffith has called.

Griffith is in the lead with a pair of eights holding [8h][3h], but Courtney has a flush draw holding [9s][5s].

Courtney turns even more outs when the [10c] hit on the turn.

The [7h] river gave Courtney the straight and left Griffith short with only 200,000 left.
