Grieco Check Raises Moneymaker Twice in One Hand
Nicola Grieco in the cutoff opened with a raise to 3,000 before the flop and Chris Moneymaker on the button made the call. The flop came 
and Grieco checked. Moneymaker made a bet of 3,500 and soon got check raised to 10,000. Moneymaker called in position.
Grieco checked again on the 
turn and again Moneymaker bet, this time 7,500. Grieco check raised for the second time, now for 25,000. Moneymaker wasn't scared that easily and called.
The river came the 
and Grieco checked. Was he going for the holy grail of poker? Would he try the triple check raise? Would he go for the trifecta of bluffs? He certainly got the opportunity as Moneymaker bet 29,000. Grieco had 52,000 behind at this point but after just a couple of seconds he gave up and the pot went to Moneymaker.
