Main Event Day 1A - Chris Griswold Out in 14th, Blinds are Up

Chris Griswold was very close to an incredible birthday present, but his fun was spoiled just five spots from the final nine on Day 1A.

He was involved in a coinflip situation with pocket tens against ace-queen offsuit, and the board was all safe cards for Griswold until the cruel queen hit the river, sending him home in 14th place.

We'd like to send our condolonces, and Happy Birthday, Chris!

The players just returned from a short break to blinds of 3,000/6,000/1,000. The average stack is now 157,692.
