The Home-Court Advantage for Gregg Is Real

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Tony Gregg (Day 2)
Tony Gregg (Day 2)

After Ramiro Petrone raised to 4,800 from middle position, action fell on Tony Gregg in the hijack seat. He reraised to 13,500. Play folded back to Petrone, he called, and the dealer fanned the {K-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Spades} flop. After Petrone checked, Gregg bet 16,700. Petrone called.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, and Petrone checked. Gregg also checked, and the river completed the board with the {3-Diamonds}. Petrone took some time, then fired 42,000. Gregg squirmed a little in his chair, took 42,000 from his stack, and called.

Petrone tabled the {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for top two pair. Gregg turned over the {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for a rivered straight, and he won the pot.

When it comes to the PCA Main Event, Gregg is one of the best performers the event has ever seen. Although he hails from Maryland, Gregg has an amazing sense of home-court advantage in the Bahamas. His first real big splash onto the poker scene was in this event when he placed second back in 2009 for $1.7 million from a field of 1,347 players. Just three years later, in 2012, Gregg found his way back to the final table from a field of 1,072 players and took sixth for $364,000.

O'Dwyer Moving Up More

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer has been on a roll. After earning a seat in Day 2 of the PCA Main Event, he went and won the $50,000 One-day High Roller and then came back and ran up a huge stack in Day 2. Now on Day 3, he just broke 500,000 in a pot against William Foxen.

Michelle Syeda Shah raised to 5,000 before O'Dwyer reraised to 15,000. The action fell to Foxen in the big blind and he made it 39,500. Shah folded.

"You have about 300,000 behind?" O'Dwyer asked Foxen.

O'Dwyer called and the two players were heads up to the flop. Foxen bet 31,300 into O'Dwyer on the {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} board and O'Dwyer called.

The turn was the {6-Hearts} and Foxen went into the tank. After thinking for awhile, he decided on a check and tapped one finger on the felt slowly.

O'Dwyer didn't take much longer to bet 82,000 and Foxen folded. O'Dwyer won the pot and is sitting just above 500,000.

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante
Calvin Anderson (Day 2)
Calvin Anderson (Day 2)

Calvin Anderson check-raised a Georgios Zisimopoulos bet of 16,500 to 50,000 on the {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop. Zisimopoulos tank-called, and the turn was the {9-Hearts}. Anderson, who normally acts quickly with all of his decisions, thought about his next move for a little bit. After 30-45 seconds passed, he announced that he was all in — a bet of 87,000 or so. Zisimopoulos called.

Anderson turned up the {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} for two over cards to the board and a flush draw. Zisimopoulos had the {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for a pair of nines that he made on the turn.

The river was the {A-Spades} and Zisimopoulos improved to two pair. Anderson's hand was tossed in the muck and he was off to the exit.

Brown Stars With a Win

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Rory Brown just raised in early position to 5,200 and Dan Hindin three-bet from the small blind to 16,100. Brown made the call and the flop brought out {6-Spades}{J-Spades}{2-Hearts} on which Hindin bet 17,300.

Brown made the call and the {9-Hearts} turn and the {K-Hearts} river both players checked.

"Ace-queen," Hindin announced as he tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}.

Brown showed {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, and he was pushed the pot here early on Day 2.

Tony Gregg Poised for Another Deep Run

Level 14 : 1,200/2,400, 300 ante

Tony Gregg, the 2009 PCA runner-up for $1.7 million, is on his way to make another deep run as he's sitting on a big stack at the start of Day 3.

Just now we saw Gregg in a three-handed pot against two players in the blinds with a flop showing {3-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Both blinds checked and Gregg checked behind, putting the {7-Hearts} on the turn.

Krasimir Yankov lead from the small blind for 7,500 and only Gregg called in position. The river was the {2-Spades} and Yankov check-folded to a bet of 23,500.
