Enter Elky
One of the biggest stars in the game of poker, and formerly Starcraft, Bertrand 'Elky' Grospellier, has just entered the tournament. The Team PokerStars Pro, easily recognizable because of his pink colored spiky hair and blingy sunglasses, sat down at the table and he was immediately recognized.
The player in Seat 1 asked where the Frenchman currently lives, and he said, "London, but I spend most of my time on the road."
"So are you at my table or am I at yours?" the friendly gentleman joked.
Elky smiled and replied, "Well, you were here first so I guess I'm at your table."
Grospellier has a stunning $10.8 million in live tournament earnings including a PCA Main Event victory for $2,000,000 and a WPT Festa a Lago victory for $1.4 million. On top of that Elky also has a World Series of Poker bracelet win in the 2011 $10,000 Seven Card Stud event making him one of the select few with a Triple Crown under his belt.
The number 19 on the all-time money list is without a doubt the biggest star in today's field and everyone in the room is buzzing with excitement to follow the Frenchman on his way to perhaps another amazing run.
