Greed Is Good

So said Gordon Gekko. Word is they're working on a sequel to Wall Street. While we wait for that, the final day of Event No. 56 will do.

Matt Hawrilenko opened with a big raise to 170,000 from the button, and Robert Kay repopped it to 600,000 from the big blind. As Hawrilenko considered the situation for the next half-minute or so, Kay looked straight at his opponent unblinkingly. Finally, Hawrilenko let it go.

"You're being greedy!" cracked Sean Keeton, a post-hand commentary on Kay's play. Kay and Hawrilenko are both hovering right around the 1.2 million mark at the moment.
