Griffin Gets a Bad Beat

[user198205]

A player in middle position raised to 525, the hijack called, and Ashton Griffin who was on the button re-raised to 2,600. The player in the small blind called, the initial raiser folded, and the hijack called making it three-handed heading to the flop.

The flop came {j-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {3-Hearts} and the small blind led out for 4,500. The middle position player folded and Griffin called. The turn was the {a-Clubs} and the small blind bet 7,500. Griffin then went all in for a total of 12,400 and the small blind tanked for a bit before tossing the extra 4,900 chips in to make the call.

Griffin: {a-Spades} {j-Diamonds}
Small Blind: {k-Clubs} {q-Diamonds}

Griffin found he was way ahead but then the dealer flipped over the river card, the {10-Clubs} , giving the other player Broadway and sending Griffin to the rail.
