The River Snatches Away ElkY's Double

In the last hand of Level 12, Steve O'Dwyer opened for 22,000 from the cutoff and then called when Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier moved all in for 70,000 from the small blind.

Showdown
O'Dwyer: {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Grospellier: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

Grospellier was way out in front and primed for a double, though the {5-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts} flop did put out some chop options. The {A-Hearts} turn paired both and put out even more chop options, and wouldn't you know it, the {K-Hearts} spiked on the river to do just that. Both players held aces and queens with a king kicker and Grospellier watched the much-needed double slip through his hands.

Selbst Successfully Five-Bets Ivey Out Of The Pot

Vanessa Selbst opened for 22,000 and was quickly met by a three-bet to 56,000 from Vivek Rajkumar. When action reached Phil Ivey in the big blind, he opted for a hefty four-bet to 175,000. Selbst thought for about a minute and then quietly announced that she was all in.

Rajkumar quickly got out of the way, and Ivey, who had a considerable stack, took about 90 seconds before conceding the hand.

Sands Jams

Philipp Gruissem, David "Doc" Sands, and Fabian Quoss were three-handed on a board of {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Gruissem checked, Sands fired 34,000, and both Quoss and Gruissem called.

The turn was the {9-Clubs}, Gruissem and Sands both checked, and Quoss tossed out 80,000. Gruissem folded, Sands moved all in for around 300,000, and Quoss tank-folded.

Selbst Eliminates Alaei; Chips Up To Over A Million

Daniel Alaei
Daniel Alaei

Team PokerStars Pro Vanessa Selbst was the first woman to ever play the $100K Super High Roller since it first appeared on the PCA schedule three years ago. Everyone knows she's a beast, and she's proving it once again here in the Bahamas.

In a recent hand, action folded to Daniel Alaei in the cutoff and he raised to 25,000. Selbst responded with a three-bet to 48,000, Alaei moved all in for approximately 315,000, and Selbst snap-called.

Showdown
Selbst: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Alaei: {Q-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

Selbst was ahead, but Alaei was drawing to live cards. The {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{7-Clubs} flop wasn't particularly interesting, while the {8-Clubs} turn gave both a flush draw. That flush would come in for both when the {K-Clubs} completed the board on the river, but unfortunately for Alaei his jack was no good as Selbst had the ace-high flush.

Scott Seiver (Day 1) is suddenly our chip leader

After a series of bets and raises, Scott Seiver was all in and at risk for 813,000 preflop holding {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. Anthony Gregg had him at risk with {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}, and the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, doubling Seiver to over 1.6 million chips.

Gregg is left with just 70,000 or so.

Huge Double for Rajkumar

Over at the feature table, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier and neighbor Vivek Rajkumar were heads up on a board of {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}. Grospellier led out for 177,000, and Rajkumar tanked for a considerable amount of time before calling.

The {q-Hearts} completed the board, and Grospellier quickly moved all in. Rajkumar shrugged then made the call, tabling {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for two pair. Grospellier stood up to leave, and the tournament director requested that he turns his cards over. Rajkumar said that it was OK if he didn't, but the tournament director insisted because of the rules at showdown.

The dealer turned over Grospellier's hand ({a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}), and he was left with around 60,000 chips when the stacks were counted down.

Rajkumar appears to have 1.13 million.
