ElkY Loses Hand

ElkY In Shock
ElkY In Shock
The details are sketchy, (perhaps our reporters were in shock that ElkY actually LOST a hand), but we got the gist of what went down.

Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier was holding {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and saw a multi-way flop of {2-Spades}{A-Spades}{6-Clubs} with four opponents where the action was checked around.

The {10-Spades} on the turn was the action card as it gave ElkY a set. He fired out a bet and then called the shove of his opponent who turned over {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for the flush.

The river didn't repeat the board and Elky loses a chunk of coin to slip to a more human-like 1.35 million.
