Grigsby Loses the Rest

Franklin Grigsby was tangled up in a big pot before the break, and his loss left him with about 40,000 chips, just 10% of his starting stack.

Returning from break, we see Grigsby still actively playing pots. He was involved in a four-way contest, playing in position from the button. Each participant had put in 3,600 before the flop, and Grigsby fired 14,000 after the action was checked to him. A check-raise from the small blind would cause him to fold though, slipping back to 21,800.

On the very next hand, Grigsby moved those chips all in from the cutoff seat. He had {A-Diamonds} {8-Clubs}, and the big blind called him down with {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}. Both players would pair their kicker, but the board of {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {5-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {8-Spades} would be Grigsby's last of the day. After beginning play with a top-five stack of more than 400,000, Franklin Grigsby is a goner.
