Grech Playing His Own Seven-Deuce Game

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
MPF - Tournament Room 2
MPF - Tournament Room 2

Joseph Grech opened to 2,700 from early position, and called a three-bet to 6,500 from Giovanni La Rosa in the cutoff.

Grech called and checked in the dark, saying "Checked to the man who thinks he has the best hand."

On the A22 flop, Grech raised to 15,000 versus a bet of 6,000 from La Rosa, who folded after a brief period of contemplation.

Grech windmilled 72 into the middle of the table, having a good giggle as he did so. La Rosa looked mildly frustrated but quite amused, and revealed to PokerNews he had pocket kings.
