Hand 192: On the 92nd hand of heads-up play, Gavin Griffin (USA) raised 125K pre-flop and Marc Karam raised to 400K. Griffin called. The flop was {4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Karam bet 500K and Griffin raised to 2M. Karam moved all in and before Griffin called he muttered, "I think you have the best hand." Karam flipped over his hand and said, "S--t! I just have a pair of fours." He tabled {7-Spades}{4-Spades} while Griffin flipped over {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for an open ended straight draw along with two over cards. Griffin had Karam covered by just 510K as the dealer counted out all their chips. The turn was {3-Hearts} and the river was {K-Hearts} which sealed the victory for Griffin.
