Elky, Margets Make Up Ground

Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier spent most of Day 1 grinding a fairly short stack but since the start of day 2, he's been quickly climbing up the leaderboard.

Case in point, he just opened to 4,500 from UTG and got calls from Lucien Cohen and Kevin Kevosomphet to see a {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} flop. ElkY continued with a 7,700 and only Kevosomphet was the only but he gave up on the {2-Clubs} turn after a 16,600 bet from the Frenchman.

Meanwhile Guillaume de la Gorce check-called a 5,100 bet from Leo Margets on the {9-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} flop but then gave up when the Spaniard bet 7,500 on the {Q-Diamonds} after a second de la Gorce check.
