ElkY And Perrault Are Not Flushed With Success

Gross-pellier

Just moments into level two, we've lost both Pascal Perrault and ElkY.

There had been an early position limp before Perrault had raised to 300. One player called behind before ElkY called in the big blind, the limper also called.

The flop was {K-Spades} {3-?} {6-Spades} and ElkY led out for 525, the first limper called and Perrault raised to 1,500. The second limper folded but both Elky and the original limper called.

The turn was an offsuit {5-?} and it was checked to Perrault who bet 5,000. Elky and the other player both called.

On the {A-Spades} river, Elky moved all-in for his last 12,000 or so with the player behind him calling after tanking for a minute. Perrault then made the overcall for less and we saw a showdown.

ElkY: {5-Spades} {3-Spades}
Happy Middle Player: {10-Spades} {7-Spades}
Perrault: {K-?} {K-?}

Elky and Perrault were both eliminated as a result.
