[user68268]

Nível 9 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Tony Gregg playing Day 2 of the $25K 6-Max after justing winning the $111,111 One Drop

As if winning the $111,111 One Drop High Roller No-Limit Hold'em for $4,830,619 wasn't enough, Tony Gregg immediately came over to the $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em (Six Handed) event and took his seat. In the One Drop High Roller, Gregg defeated Chris Klodnicki heads up to take the title.

From across the table, Niklas Heinecker, winner of the 2013 GuangDong Ltd. Asia Millions Main Event for HK$34,600,000, stood up to come over and shake Gregg's hand and congratulate him. Jeff Gross did the same from an adjacent table, as did Timothy Adams. Justin Bonomo and Tobias Reinkemeier were a couple of the others to verbally shout out some congrats to Gregg.

"Don't you have anything better to do?" joked Heinecker while Gregg counted his stack and smiled.

"Such a grinder!" yelled Reinkemeier. "Go celebrate!"

At any rate, Gregg doesn't look like he has any plans to blow off his stack in this event. He has about 60,000 in chips and looks just as serious as he did during the entire One Drop High Roller event. It would be one of the most amazing feats in poker if he were able to pull of the back-to-back victory in these two star-studded events.
