'ElkY' Knocks Off Collins; Advances to the Round of 32

For awhile there, it looked like Fred Collins had more lives than a cat after he'd survived at least four all-in confrontations against heads-up opponent Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier. In the end, however, ElkY proved to be too much for Collins to handle.

With the blinds uber-high, Collins open-shoved all in holding the {A-Clubs}

and Grospellier looked him up with a pocket pair of fours. The board then ran out king-high and ElkY's baby pair held up to win the pot and the match.

Grospellier will face off against fellow online pro Ilari 'Zigmund' Sahamies in tomorrow's Round of 32.
