Gregg Going Goro

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Tony Gregg
Tony Gregg

Tony Gregg has earned the coolest nickname in poker by becoming the man waiting at the end of poker's biggest games. Since 2008 the mild mannered Gregg has terrorized final tables at poker's elite events all over the world. And like the famed end bosses of video game lore before him, Gregg does not go down easy - if at all.

He has a pair seven-figure scores to his credit, including one of the biggest hauls in poker history from a financial standpoint, as Gregg won the 2013 World Series of Poker One Drop high roller event for $4,830,619. He also won the WPT Parx Open Poker Classic Part III in 2013, showing that his moniker is more than just a screen name.

Gregg is currently crushing a table full of pros, and he now holds nearly three times the average stack at the moment, pushing closer to the coveted 500,000-chip plateau while the average sits at 176,000.

A recent hand saw Gregg check the {8-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop to prompt a feeler bet of 10,000 from the cutoff and a call by Cathy Dever on the button. Gregg sat still for a few seconds before reaching decisively for a stack of baby blues and making the raise. It looked to be about 48,000 or so, but we couldn't even count it before both opponents surrendered to the End Boss.
