Greco Gone

Down to just 225, Michael Greco didn't have enough for the 600 big blind, and was forced to witness the rarity of the dealer creating a sidepot without a preflop raise.

With two limpers to the flop (Richard Kellett relinquished the small blind), Swee Chai bet 1,000 on the {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop and Andy Kyprianou made the call.

After both players checked the {5-Spades} turn, Kyprianou led for 3,500 on the {2-Hearts} river and Chai made the call. Kyprianou insta-mucked, leaving Chai to reveal {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, which was beating Greco who threw his cards into the muck and exited stage left.
