After initially being refused entry into today's event due to forgetting his ID (I can confirm he resisted using the "do you know who I am" line), Greco's obstinacy has clearly reaped its rewards, the former soap star and GUKPT winner doubling through courtesy of Rado Boltryk.

With the board reading , Rob Perry held for top pair, whilst Boltryk could only muster . Shane Schleger was also in the hand, but his cards went unseen.
