ElkY Continues To Climb

Josh_Cahlik

Martin Jacobson put in a raise to an unknown amount before the flop and his sole caller was Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier from the blinds.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds} {9-Clubs} {k-Hearts} and Grospellier checked. Jacobson continued for 1,800 and received a call. Fourth street brought the {5-Hearts} and ElkY check-called a 4,000 bet.

The board finished with the {6-Diamonds} and both players checked. Grospellier showed {K-Spades} {3-Spades} and Jacobson mucked.

Grospellier has increased his stack to 224,000 and is still sitting pretty in second place on the chip counts, bested only by top stack Michael Mizrachi.

Sylvia Doubles Big Through Shak

Chad Holloway

Dan Shak opened for 2,800 and was met with a three-bet to 7,400 by October Nine chip leader Jesse Sylvia. Shak opted to move all in for approximately 70,000, and Sylvia called off.

Showdown
Sylvia: {A-} {A-}
Shak: {A-} {K-}

The board ran out clean for Sylvia and he chipped up to nearly twice the chip average. Could another deep Main Event run be in order?

"Hi Ashley," Sylvia told us to say as he knows she's sweating the updates from the hotel room.

The board finished off with the {2-Spades} and Bonomo moved out a bet of 8,500. Pouyau thought for about twenty seconds before throwing out a call.

Gruissem Busts Another

donpeters

It was recently reported that Philipp Gruissem had sent former World Series of Poker November Niner Sam Holden to the rail. Well, Gruissem has wasted little in claiming another victim to move his stack to 165,000 in chips.

After Gruissem opened to 1,600 from middle position, Kamel Mekdad reraised all in for approximately 10,000 from the small blind. Gruissem called with the {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} and was up against the {9-Clubs} {2-Spades} for Mekdad.

The flop, turn and river gave Gruissem the win when the {J-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} {K-Hearts} rolled out, and Mekdad was eliminated.

Allain Doubles Through Hellmuth

Chad Holloway

Adrien Allain moved all in from early position for 18,700 and cleared the field all the way around to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind. The "Poker Brat" thought for about 30 seconds before putting in a call, the big blind folded, and the cards were turned up.

Showdown

Hellmuth:

Allain:

It was a classic flip, but not after the flop came down {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {J-Diamonds} . Allain had flopped a Broadway straight to take a commanding lead. The {A-Clubs} turn gave Hellmuth chop outs to a king, but the {4-Spades} river was not it. A composed Hellmuth rapped the table and moved on to the next hand.
