Gregory Shoots up the Peck-ing Order

It took five hands of blind stealing before we actually witnessed a flop, Joe Tehan raising it up to 19,000 from early position and being called by Gregory Alston on the button.

On a {J-Clubs}

flop, Tehan quickly checked to Alston, who, donning a highly pensive expression, bet out 28,000. Tehan made the call.

A {6-Spades}

on the turn led to another quick check from Tehan, resulting in a 51,000 bet from a confident-looking Alston. Quicker than he had checked, Tehan made the fold.

The very next hand, Alston was getting busy again, this time betting Robert Lipkin off of a {K-Spades}

flop after the latter had smooth-called the former's 19,000 preflop button raise from the big blind.

Good start for Alston, who adds some vital chips to his stack.
