Ashton Griffin: $ 550,000 gain in a cash game at the Rio
It remains more than seven weeks of poker madness to live in Las Vegas as part of the holding of the world championship of poker in the city. As usual, such a high concentration of several great players and stars of poker in this city of Nevada do that cash game tournaments are organized everywhere. This time it was in the High Stakes poker room of Rio that fans of that kind of tournament gathered. It's sometimes difficult to have complete information on these cash games where a huge amount of money is in stake and where most of the time, very wealthy businessmen are also on the gaming tables.
At the meeting in Rio, famous players like Kido Pham, Randy Dorfman, Andrew Robl, Tom Dwan, David Benefield, Patrick Antonius and Ashton Griffin attended the event. It was a Pot Limit Omaha with blinds of $ 1,000, $ 2,000 or $ 4,000 and at the end, Ashton Griffin made a great achievement as he picked up a gain of $ 550,000. According to informed sources, rich Texans who enjoy playing poker were on the gaming tables of Rio on Saturday night, and a jackpot of $ 1.5 million was on the table. If luck smiled to Ashton Griffin, it seems that Tom Dwan had a very bad day because he lost a lot of money at this long session tournament. The party has just begun because throughout the month of June, poker pros will still run wild on tables of cash game during break times.
