Cardiff GUKPT: FINAL DAY - At A Glance

[Djinn]

Roberto raises to 100k (that's a min raise), Michael Greco calls.
Flop:   Michael calls the 120k bet from Roberto
Turn:    Check-check
River:    Michael checks, Roberto checks his J-2 and in Michael's hand proves the winner.

Everyone's getting a bit tired now, I gather another checked-to-the-river pot between Hoss and Roberto saw the Welshman misread his winning straight for a pair of Jacks.  And we just had a pause while everyone tried to remember who was meant to have the button.  It's been a long four days.

Hoss and Greco (small blind) both limp and Roberto moves all-in.

Heads up Chip Counts:

Hoss Parhizkar    1,185,000
Michael Greco     2,010,000

[Djinn]

Hoss calls on the button; check.  Michael checks in the dark the flop.  Check back.
Turn:    check-check
River:    check-check   Michael's J-6(!) wins by a mile.  "I was waiting for you to bet..." he almost apologises.  We reckon he might be waiting a while, and betting a bit might get it won quicker - he does have a 2:1 lead...
