ElkY's Leaking, Negreanu's Peaking

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

It's been a tough start WSOP Event #21 champion Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier, who is now down to just 1,700 in chips with no lammers.

He's not finding any luck on his table either. After he raised to 200 from the cutoff in a previous hand, the opponent on the button re-raised to 500. The blinds got out of the way and Grospellier called before both players checked all the way down the board of {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

However, Grospellier scowled and threw his hand away even before the button had even tabled his cards. For the record, the player had made two pair with his {Q-}{5-}{4-}{3-}.

In contrast, on nearby table 30, Daniel Negreanu is on more than 25,000 (including both his lammers), much to the delight of the railbirds who have flocked en masse to see him in action. The "Kid" has still got it!
