Collecting the Antes

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier has taking his big stack and used it to abuse his table the closer we get to the money. If this were online and PokerTracker stats were available, his VPIP would figure to be a 75 with a PFR of 65 -- it's pretty nuts. If you look at ElkY's stack, you'll see the majority of the black T100 chips are towering in front of me. That could only mean one thing: the players at his table are letting him steal over and over to pick up the blinds and antes.

Just recently, one opponent defended, but after ElkY fired 11,100 on the flop and 25,000 on the turn with the board reading {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} {6-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, the player gave up and folded his hand. ElkY showed pocket queens and let the table know that even he has a hand sometimes.

ElkY's sitting on about 425,000 chips.
