ElkY Needs a Walk

There was 2,100 in the pot preflop and the flop came down {J-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {7-Clubs}. After the under-the-gun player bet out 1,000, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 2,700. The player under the gun then reraised to 7,000 and ElkY made the call.

The turn brought the {K-Hearts} and the first player checked to ElkY. He fired a bet of 5,250 and the player called.

The river was the {10-Hearts} and the player checked. ElkY checked right behind. When his opponent tabled {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} for a rivered Broadway straight, ElkY's jaw almost hit the table. He then mucked his hand and got up from his chair to take a walk.

ElkY is down to 18,000.
