ElkY in the Lead

[user46392]

Gasping for air in the chip count stratosphere

We arrived just in time to see Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raking in a huge pot, and a gentleman on the rail was kind enough to fill in the details.

It seems that Alexander Smolin raised in the cutoff and ElkY reraised from the small blind. Smolin called and they saw an {A-?}

{A-?}

{3-?}

{6-?}

flop with two hearts on it. ElkY check-called around 4,500 and they saw a turn - it was the {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

, which put a diamond flush draw on the board as well. Both players checked.

The river was another {3-?}

{3-?}

in neither hearts nor diamonds and ElkY bet out 14,000. Smolin called, but promptly mucked when ElkY turned over {A-?}

{A-?}

{K-?}

.

Smolin is now short-stacked and scowling. ElkY meanwhile is firmly in the lead on over 200,000.
