ElkY Knocks Off Ziigmund

Ilaria Sahamies - eliminated
Ilaria Sahamies - eliminated
It was a battle of internet superstars on Table 2, with Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier squaring off against Ilari "Ziigmund" Sahamies. Grospellier wins this round and advances to the Third Round. He put Ziigy all in preflop and was called. Grospellier turned over a pair of deuces; he was up against Sahamies' {A-Spades} {10-Spades}. The board ran our no help for Sahamies, {3-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {5-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {7-Hearts}. Grospellier, one of the biggest names to ever come out of internet poker, will return later in the evening to face the winner of the Kaplan-Juanda match.
