Greco Sneaks In

[user4144]
[user4144]
After forgetting his ID, a short-stacked Michael 'Don't Call Me Beppe' Greco was informed that he would be unable to play, even though he had his credit card, player's card and all sorts of other card based wallet fillers in his possession.

"This is ridiculous, the press know who I am, all the players at my table know me. I made a genuine mistake. I've got no chips, I'll get blinded away." Even my good self suggested a quick Google to reveal the minor celebrity status that Greco possesses in his home nation of England.

With his pleas continuing to fall on stony ground, Greco may have been contemplating making the long trip back to his hotel room at the Wynn, but decided to make one last plea for mercy before the current supervisor of this event.

Sadly, I was in no position to eavesdrop on that exchange, but the famous Greco charm must have been working overtime as the former Eastender did indeed take his seat with just seconds to spare and is now currently back to nurturing his struggling stack of 18,000.
