Becker Smashes ElkY

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante
ElkY and Boris went to war
ElkY and Boris went to war

Two superstars of the PokerStars family (ElkY and Boris Becker) just clashed and it left the Frenchman in world of trouble.

There was a raise to 1,100 from mid position that ElkY called from the cut-off and Becker from the button. The flop came down {4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and the aggressor continued for 2,150. ElkY called but Becker raised up to 6,100. The aggressor folded but ElkY tank-called.

The turn came {6-Spades} and ElkY checked to face Becker's all-in push for 20,700. He took a few minutes but made the call with {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}. It was no good though as Becker tabled {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} for a set. The river came {5-Diamonds} and ElkY dropped to 5,000, whereas Becker is up to around 60,000.
