Greco Finds a Hand; Promptly Doubles

Greco - hmm
Greco - hmm
Michael Greco raised to a barely-over-the-minimum 130,000 and Pete Vilandos called him from the big blind.

Flop: {3-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {K-Spades}

Vilandos checked and Greco bet 200,000. Call.

Turn: {9-Hearts}

Vilandos checked again and now Greco made it 250,000 to go -- only for Vilandos to announce all in to cover Greco. Greco now had a real decision -- he wandered off for a moment, then came back to the table and stared at Vilandos for some time.

Then he called for his last 500,000.

Vilandos: {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades}
Greco: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

"Hold! HOOLLLLLDDD!" pleaded the Greco railers (Mr Hougaard was allowed back in at the break).

River: {2-Diamonds}

Greco doubles to over 2 million.
