"How Do You Even Get to the River With That?"

Such were the words of a certain member of the Dutch media after witnessing an extraordinary bluff hand from Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier's table.

There was a {5-?} {5-?} {6-?} {J-?} {Q-?} board out, with three spades on it, and ElkY checked. His opponent bet, but ElkY now made a massive reraise -- all his orange chips went in, to cover his opponent. TV crews obviously materialized, and the hapless bettor assumed that ElkY must have the goods, and passed. ElkY showed him {8-?} {9-?} offsuit for nothing more than a flopped gutshot that never came in. Extraordinary.
