Criego Comes Alive
We have hardly seen any action today from Bill Criego, a player who had seemed to be content with letting the other players take themselves out. However, he just made a move that got him some much needed chips.
Action started with Jeff Fielder raising to 60,000 in middle position. It folded to Sean Getzwiller in the cutoff, who called, as did Criego in the big blind. The flop came out 
, and Criego and Fielder checked to Getzwiller, who fired out 120,000. Criego elected to check-raise to 360,000, causing Fielder to fold. Action was on Getzwiller, who went deep into the tank. These are two of the shorter stacks, so this hand was critical for both. Getzwiller clearly took note of Criego's tight play, as he open-folded 
. Criego didn't show his hand, and collected the pot.
