Gurevich Bests ElkY

From early position, Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier raised to 47,000. Alex Gurevich flat-called from the hijack seat before everyone else folded.

The flop came down {J-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {5-Diamonds}. ElkY fired 67,000 and Gurevich called after a minute of thought.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs}, pairing the board. This didn't slow the Frenchman down, as ElkY bet 111,000. Gurevich made the call after another minute of thought.

The river produced the {3-Spades}. ElkY fired again for 167,000. Gurevich made the call.

ElkY tabled {A-Spades} {J-Clubs}, but Gurevich showed {9-Hearts} {7-Hearts} for trip sevens. Gurevich scooped the pot and is now on 1.05 million. ElkY dropped to 770,000.
