"ElkY" Out on a Bad Beat

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 1,500 ante

GGPoker Ambassador Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier was short on chips before Jargo Alavali eliminated him on a bad beat.

Grospellier jammed for 82,032 from the hijack with {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and was called by Alavali with {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} from the big blind.

The {2-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board gave Alavali trips and Grospellier was eliminated short of the money in 40th place. Stphen Chidwick and Darren Elias went to the rail soon after to leave 37 players remaining.

Quad Fours on the Board on the Turn?

Level 17 : 5,000/10,000, 1,250 ante

It's not every day you see quads on the board let alone after the first four cards, but that just happened in a hand between "QuantumKey" and Damian Salas.

Damian Salas opened to 20,000 from under the gun before he called a three-bet by "QuantumKey" from the big blind to 79,775.

Both players checked two streets as quads rolled out on the {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} board after the turn. The {7-Diamonds} completed the board on the river and Salas folded to a small bet of 15,000.
