Grigg Picks Up Kings Two Hands in a Row

[user38449]

Tom Grigg was just dealt pocket kings two hands in a row and while he won one and lost the other, he managed to improve to 1.25 million in chips in the process.

In the first hand, Grigg opened with a raise to 75,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ernst Hermans from the button. The flop came down {A-Clubs}

and Grigg fired a continuation bet of 100,000 that was called by Hermans. Both players then checked down the turn and the river ( {7-Spades}

) and at the showdown, Hermans revealed {A-Spades}

for aces up.

One hand later, Grigg picked up kings again and opened for the same amount -- 75,000. This time, Wayne Carlson called from the big blind and the two saw the flop come {A-Clubs}

. A pair of checks on the flop sent the action to the turn, {8-Diamonds}

, where Carlson fired a 100,000 bet. Grigg made the call. 5th Street delivered the {10-Hearts}

and Carlson fired another 100,000 that was also called by Grigg.

At the showdown, Grigg was pleased to find his kings were good against Carlson's {J-Hearts}
