Grecu Goes From Third Best to a Triple Up
Daniele Grasso raised to 25,000 in early position and Cristi Grecu moved all in for 96,000 in the hijack. Grasso quickly called without noticing that big blind Anson Tsang had yet to act.
Tsang called the floor over and asked whether Grasso's call was binding if he also called. The floor ruled that Grasso would be allowed to take back his chips if Tsang called. Tsang then reshoved and Grasso called for 260,000.
Cristi Grecu: A?J? 
Daniele Grasso: A?K?
Anson Tsang: Q?Q?
Tsang was ahead with his queens and poised for a double knockout as the flop came J?8?9?. The A? turn improved Grecu to two pair and the lead, while Grasso overtook Tsang with top pair. The river was the 7? and Grecu doubled up, while Grasso took the side pot off Tsang.
Grasso apologized to Tsang after the hand. "No need to apologize. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it," a tablemate joked with him afterward.
