It's all going Steve Landfish's way right now, he called Bertrand Grospellier's completion and then called another bet on fourth street. ElkY checked on fifth and quickly folded to a Landfish bet. Can the Frenchman comeback?

Heads Up: Bertrand Grospellier & Steve Landfish
Heads Up: Bertrand Grospellier & Steve Landfish

Bertrand Grospellier was pulling back into this match by virtue of raising every single time he could. The Frenchman was back up to 1.7 million to Landfish's 2 million when the following happened.

Landfish: {x-}{x-} / {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Spades} / {x-}
Grospellier: {x-}{x-} / {4-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} / {x-}

Landfish had raised only for Grospellier to make it two bets. Landfish called before fourth street went check-check. On fifth Grospellier bet his pair of fours only for Landfish to raise, Grospellier called further bets on sixth and seventh and Landfish showed {4-Spades}{4-Clubs}{x-} for jacks and fours to win the pot.

Trading Bring Ins Until...

Landfish: {X-}{X-} / {9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{X-}
Grospellier: {X-}{X-} / {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

After not seeing fourth street in every hand since the break , Steve Landfish brought in and Bertrand ‘ElkY’ Grospellier completed. Landfish came back with a raise which ElkY called and he check-called a Landfish bet on fourth as well. Both players checked fifth and on sixth, an ElkY bet was enough to take down the hand. It might not have been the most glamorous of pots but it’s the best we’ve seen in a little while.
