ElkY Crippled

Level 4 : 75/150, 0 ante

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 350 under the gun, and got one caller in middle position. The flop came out {k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Spades}, and ElkY quickly threw his last 2,500 in. His opponent called, and ElkY was in bad shape.

ElkY: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}

The turn came the {10-Clubs}, and the river brought the {8-Spades}, and ElkY was knocked down to 500 in chips. On the next hand, he was all in, and got two callers. The board ran out {k-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, and his {a-Hearts}{5-Spades} chopped with one opponents {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}, pushing him up to 800 in chips. The start of a comeback perhaps?
