Griffin Straightens Out Kurganov
We just saw a monster pot take place, and a rare all-in-and-a-call situation.
It began when Igor Kurganov opened for 4,500 and cleared the field to Ashton Griffin, who three-bet to 15,000 from the small blind. After the big got out of the way, Kurganov called and the flop came down 
. Griffin was first to act and fired out 21,000, Kurganov called, and the 
turned. Again Griffin bet, this time 47,000, and Kurganov thought for well over a minute before putting in a call.
When the 
completed the board on the river, Griffin moved all in for his last 112,500 and Kurganov thought long and hard before dropping in some chips to signify a call. Griffin then rolled over 
for a queen-high straight, which was good as Kurganov showed 
for a turned set.
