ElkY Down Six Figures

ElkY: today's themes are rhinestones and running bad
ElkY: today's themes are rhinestones and running bad
Bad news for fans of glittery Bertrand Grospellier - a hand against Tony G saw him drop in chips in dramatic fashion.

There was a bit of action on the flop, but it's on the river where it got interesting. The board was {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {3-Clubs}. Tony G checked, button Grospellier bet 22,200. Tony G quickly raised to 75,000 and after just a brief think Grospellier made the call. Tony G showed {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs} , and ElkY showed just a hint of irritation in the manner in which he flicked over his hand, so that just the {Q-Hearts} landed upright.

"Queen-king?" queried Tony G.

In response, he was shown the {10-Hearts} for the flopped straight. He got a helpful. "You should have got it in on the flop," from his defeater. Tony G did admit, "I was lucky the King came."
